Abstract: (APS)
The reaction C12 + C12 has been studied at Ec.m.=2.5 to 6.2 MeV by γ-ray spectroscopy. New resonances were found below 4 MeV. When the influence of the Coulomb barrier is removed, these resonances are superimposed on a flat background, which does not show a strong increase at low energies, in contrast to previous work.
