Form factors for α+12C inelastic scattering are obtained within two theoretical (α+α+α) approaches:The hyperspherical framework for three identical bosons, and the algebraic cluster model assuming the D3h symmetry of an equilateral triangle subject to rotations and vibrations. Results show a good agreement, with form factors involving the Hoyle state having a slightly larger extension within the hyperspherical approach. Coupled-channel calculations using these form factors are ongoing.
