It's much more likely for this process to occur if the total energy of three "He particles is equal to one of the allowed energy states of 12C.

When a positron is emitted, it goes only a short distance before coming nearly to rest. It forms a bound state with an electron, called "positronium", which is rather similar to a hydrogen atom. The binding energy of positronium is very small compared to the rest energy of an electron. After a short time the positron and electron annihilate. In the annihilation, the positron and the electron disappear, and all of their rest energy goes into two photons (particles of light) which have zero mass; all their energy is kinetic energy. These high energy photons, called "gamma rays", are emitted at nearly 180° to each other. What energy of gamma ray (in MeV, million electron volts) should each of the detectors be made sensitive to?
