A significant increase in stable 12C production can result from lightparticle- induced deexcitation from resonances above the 3α breakup threshold. The enhancement in 12C production has been calculated in the temperature range of T9 = 0.1 to 10 using the inverse Maxwellian Averaged Reaction Rate (MARR) generated directly by the TALYS code, a unique new approach. Calculated proton-induced enhancements are nearly identical to the conventional approach, but the neutron-induced enhancements are strikingly different at low temperatures. An attempt has been made to analyze the differences between the two approaches.
