Angular correlation techniques have been used to determine the spin of a strong resonance observed in the {sup 12}C +{sup 12}C(3{sup {minus}};9.64 MeV) inelastic scattering channel, at a bombarding energy of 33.5 MeV in the center-of-mass system. The alpha particles produced in the sequential decay {sup 12}C(3{sup {minus}}){r_arrow}{sup 8}Be(g.s.) + {alpha}{sub 0} were detected using four double-sided silicon strip detectors. The data are consistent with a spin assignment of {ital J}{sup {pi}}=18{sup +} for this resonance. The current results are compared to calculations of resonance behavior in this system from the band crossing model. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
