Further evidence for the broad 2{sub 2}{sup +} state at 9.6 MeV in {sup 12}C

We measured the {sup 12}C(p,p{sup '}){sup 12}C* reaction at 25 MeV at the three laboratory angles of 20 deg., 35 deg., and 45 deg. The measured spectra support recent evidence for a new broad2{sub 2}{sup +} state at 9.6 MeV in {sup 12}C, but do not support the claim for such a broad state at 11.1 MeV.
