Particle-Gamma Coincidence Study of Gross-Structure Peaks inC12+C12Inelastic Scattering

Particle-$\gamma$ angular correlations with forty ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ angles for a fixed $\gamma$ angle have been measured for the reaction ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$(${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$, ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$)${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$*(4.44 MeV) over the energy range $14.5<~E_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.\mathrm{}}<~32$ MeV. Satisfactory agreement with a large body of experimental data is obtained using a simple distorted-wave Born-approximation calculation without introducing the idea of "quasimolecular" resonances.
