contents We measured the $γ$-decay probability of the Hoyle state with a new method of triple coincidence detection of a scattered $α$ particle, a recoil $\rm ^{12}C$ nucleus, and a $γ$ ray in inelastic alpha scattering on $\rm ^{12}C$. This method successfully enabled a low-background measurement and a precise determination of the $γ$-decay probability of the Hoyle state as $Γ_\mathrmγ/Γ=[4.00 \pm 0.22 \mathrm{(sta.)} \pm 0.18 \mathrm{(sys.)}]\times10^{-4}$, which is consistent with the previous literature value. Therefore, we concluded that the literature value can be reliably used in the study of nucleosynthesis in the universe.
