Molecular resonances in /sup 12/C + /sup 12/C inelastic scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The energy dependence of the total cross section for the mutual inelastic scattering reaction /sup 12/C + /sup 12/C ..-->.. /sup 12/C(2/sub 1//sup +/) + /sup 12/C(2/sub 1//sup +/) has been measured from E/sub c. m./(/sup 12/C) = 15 to 45 MeV. A rotationlike sequence of resonances is observed with strengths up to 17% of the unitarity limit and widths approaching the /sup 12/C + /sup 12/C single-particle width.
