Total reaction cross section forC12+C12in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier

Abstract
The total reaction cross section for C12 + C12 has been deduced in the energy range Ec.m.=5.512.8 MeV from elastic angular distributions using the sum-of-differences method. It exhibits as pronounced structures all quasimolecular resonances found in the α-particle exit channel and additional new resonances.
