Abstract

By utilizing particle-identification techniques to detect the two breakup $α$ particles from ${}^{8}{Be}$ , we have studied the reactions ${}^{12}C$ ( ${}^{12}C$ , ${}^{8}{Be}$ ) ${}^{16}O$ and ${}^{16}O$ ( ${}^{12}C$ , ${}^{8}{Be}$ ) ${}^{20}{Ne}$ . The ( ${}^{12}C$ , ${}^{8}{Be}$ ) reaction strongly populates the positive-parity four-particle, four-hole rotational band of ${}^{16}O$ based on its 6.05-MeV ( $0^{+}$ ) state, and both the positive- and negative-parity rotational bands of ${}^{20}{Ne}$ based on its ground-state ( $0^{+}$ ) and 5.80-MeV ( $1^{-}$ ) state, respectively.
