A measurement of the cascade γ radiation from the 7.65-MeV Jπ=0+ state in 12C is reported. The cascade γ radiation through the 4.44-MeV Jπ=2+ state in 12C is responsible for 98% of stellar 12C production, the remaining 2% proceeding by E0 pair decay. The two E2 γ rays were measured in coincidence with inelastically scattered protons which resonantly populated the 7.65-MeV state at Ep=10.48 MeV. A high efficiency detection system was used, consisting of four 12.5-cm × 12.5-cm NaI γ detectors and four silicon surface barrier particle counters. A value of (4.09 +/- 0.29) × 10-4 was obtained for the radiative branching ratio, in agreement with the larger of the two sets of values previously reported.
