  New experimental data for the 12C+12C reaction have been measured in the
centre-of-mass energy range E_{c.m.}= 40 to 60 MeV. Excitation functions for a
number of single and mutual $^{12}$C inelastic channels have been measured
which include the 0_{gs}, 2_{1}^+, 0_{2}^+, 3_{1}^-, and 4$_1^+$ 12C states.
All of the reactions display largely unstructured excitation functions over
this energy range. The absence of further resonances in this energy region for
the 12C(12C,2C[3_1^-])12C[3_1^-$] reaction confirms theoretical predictions of
the termination of the band of resonances found at lower centre-of-mass
energies in this channel.
