Heavy ion collisions near the Fermi energy produce a'freezout'region where fragments appear and later decay, emitting mainly neutrons, protons, alpha particles, and gamma rays. These decay products carry information about the decaying nuclei. Fragmentation events may result in high yields of boson particles, especially alpha particles, and may carry important information about the nuclear Bose Einstein condensate (BEC). We study'in medium'four α correlations and link them to the'fission'of 16 O in two 8 Be in the ground state or 12 C*(Hoyle state)+ α. Using novel techniques for the correlation functions, we confirm the resonance of 16 O at 15.2 MeV excitation energy, and the possibility of a lower resonance, close to 14.72 MeV. The latter resonance is the result of all α particles having 92 keV relative kinetic energies.
