Excitation function measurements for C 12 C 12 inelastic scattering channels

OpenAlex lv

New experimental data for the ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}{+}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ reaction have been measured in the center-of-mass energy range ${E}_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.}=40--59\mathrm{}\mathrm{MeV}.$ Excitation functions for a number of single and mutual ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ inelastic channels have been measured which include the ${0}_{\mathrm{g}.\mathrm{s}.}^{+},$ ${2}_{1}^{+},$ ${0}_{2}^{+},$ ${3}_{1}^{\ensuremath{-}},$ and ${4}_{1}^{+}$ ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ states. All of the reactions display largely unstructured excitation functions over this energy range. The absence of further resonances in this energy region for the ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}{(}^{12}\mathrm{C}{,}^{12}\mathrm{C}[{3}_{1}^{\ensuremath{-}}]{)}^{12}\mathrm{C}[{3}_{1}^{\ensuremath{-}}]$ reaction confirms theoretical predictions of the termination of the band of resonances found at lower center-of-mass energies in this channel.
