Description
Recently, resonances have been observed in the reactions 12C(12C,12C(O2+))12C(3-) and 12C(12C,12C(3-))12C(3-) at Ecm ∼ 33 MeV. Previously resonances in the reaction 12C(12C,12C)12C(3-) have been reported by Fulton et al. Here we present a new model of these resonances. We relate this model to the classical theory of both the asymmetric rotor and the symmetric top. We believe that detailed spin measurements from these data will provide evidence for the 3-fold symmetry of 12C. (author). Letter-to-the-editor
