For the first time, an experimental study of angular correlations has yielded a complete set of independent spin tensors of the final-state density matrix. The angular dependence of the nine spin tensors of the density matrix of the 2/sup +/ state of the /sup 12/C nucleus has been determined for the reaction /sup 12/C(..cap alpha..,..cap alpha gamma../sub 4,43/)/sup 12/C in the angular interval theta/sub ..cap alpha../ (c.m.) = 26--168.5/sup 0/ at E/sub ..cap alpha../ = 25 MeV. The populations of substates of this state have also been determined.
