Abstract
Resonances observed in the 12C + 12C collisions are studied with a molecular model. At high spins J = 12–16, a stable dinuclear configuration is found to be an equator- equator touching one as is obtained in the 28Si + 28Si system. With K-quantum number being specified as rotation-vibration model, normal modes have been solved around the equilibrium, firstly. Furthermore, Coriolis coupling has been investigated by diagonalization among low- lying normal-mode states with K = 0 and K-excitation. It is found that the Coriolis coupling introduces about 30% of K-mixing into the K = 0 molecular ground states of J = 12–16. The analyses of the angular momentum coupling show up a dominance of the lowest L in the inelastic channel of the molecular ground state newly obtained. Thus alignments appear strongly in the inelastic channel, which is in agreement with the explanation by the band crossing model. Discussion is given on "why disalignments appear in the 28Si + 28Si system, in contrast to the above results".
