/sup 12/C-/sup 12/C resonances studied through. gamma. decay

Resonances in the /sup 12/C-/sup 12/C system and in the energy range E/sub c.m./=7--10 MeV were studied through ..gamma.. decay. Excitation functions of the ..gamma.. decay of the first excited states of /sup 20/Ne, /sup 23/Na, and /sup 23/Mg seen through the /sup 12/C(/sup 12/C,..cap alpha..)/sup 20/Ne, /sup 12/C(/sup 12/C,p)/sup 23/Na, and /sup 12/C(/sup 12/C,n)/sup 23/Mg reactions corroborated the existence of resonances observed through various particle reactions. With the help of angular distributions from the /sup 12/C(/sup 12/C,..cap alpha..)/sup 20/Ne/sub g.s./ reaction, one other resonance was established at E/sub c.m./=9.65 MeV with J/sup ..pi../=8/sup +/.
