Abstract
The nuclear molecular resonance observed in the inelastic reaction 12C(12C,12C(02+)) 12C(02+) at energy Ecm=32.5 MeV is described in the dynamical potential model, based on a diatomic-like molecular picture. It is shown that the Morse-like potential, which was successful in describing most of the resonance states in the 12C+12C system before, can satisfactorily account for this new resonance, whose energy and angular momentum are obtained as 33.09 MeV and 14+, respectively. In the light of this, the evidence of six alpha -linear chain configuration of 24Mg in this reaction is examined.
