COMMENTS
At one time Conway and I called this the z.c.c. lattice, which has led to some confusion. The a.c.c. and z.c.c. are different names for the same lattice. The a.c.c. name is preferred.
Gram matrix:
[ +4 -1 +1]
[ -1 +4 +2]
[ +1 +2 +4]
This lattice has determinant 36 and kissing number 10; it is not isodual.
