Abstract

The $^{12} C +^{12} C$ and $^{8} Be +^{16} O$ decay of $^{24} Mg$ states populated in the $^{12} C (^{20} Ne,^{24} {Mg}^{*})$ reaction has been studied at beam energies of 160 and 110 MeV. Evidence for excited states, which decay by $^{12} C$ and $^{8} Be$ emission, is observed for the excitation energy range 22 to 33 MeV. Angular correlation analysis shows that the spins of these states lie in the range of 6 to $12 ħ .$ These measurements further indicate that the breakup states possess a 4p-4h structure.
