Excitation function measurements for 12C+12C inelastic scattering channels

New experimental data for the ¹²C+¹²C reaction have been measured in the center-of-mass energy range E_c.m.=40-59 MeV. Excitation functions for a number of single and mutual ¹²C inelastic channels have been measured which include the 0⁺_g.s., 2⁺₁, 0⁺₂, 3^-₁, and 4⁺₁ ¹²C 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 ¹²C(¹²C,¹²C[3^- ₁])¹²C[3^-₁] reaction confirms theoretical predictions of the termination of the band of resonances found at lower center-of-mass energies in this channel.
