Our understanding of the low-lying resonance structure in 
C remains incomplete. We have used the reaction at proton energies of –2.7 MeV as a selective probe of the excitation region above the 
threshold in C. Transitions to individual levels in C were identified by measuring the 3
final state with a compact array of charged-particle detectors. Previously identified transitions to narrow levels were confirmed and new transitions to broader levels were observed for the first time. Here, we report cross sections, deduce partial 
-decay widths and discuss the relative importance of direct and resonant capture mechanisms.
