Abstract
The distribution of the energies of the resonances observed in the C-1 2 + C-12 interaction is studied in a model-independent way. The analys is of the distribution of the spacings between states having the same value of L (for L less-than-or-equal-to 8) indicates a vibration-like spectrum with an essentially harmonic behaviour. This result suggests that the anharmonic term introduced by the current vibration-rotation models is smaller than previously indicated.
