Cluster state formation viz. the population of unbound 8 Be and the Hoyle state of 12 C produced in the reactions 12 C (77 MeV ) + 12 C and 13 C (75 MeV ) + 12 C have been studied using resonance particle spectroscopy. It was observed that there is a large difference in the cluster state formation in these two reactions and the yield of neutron rich isotopes of different fragments is more in the 13 C + 12 C compared to 12 C + 12 C reactions at 6 MeV/u.
