Abstract
High-spin states of $\chem{^{24}Mg}$ produced in the $\chem{^{16}O +{} ^{12}C}$ interaction and decaying into the $\chem{^{16}O_{g.s.}+{}^{8}Be_{g.s.}}$ channel have been observed in the excitation region between 35 and 52 MeV. Spins have been assigned on the basis of the analysis of the measured angular correlations. Some of these states with positive parity correspond to the known resonances of the $\chem{^{12}C}$( $\chem{^{12}C}$, $\chem{^{8}Be_{g.s.}}$) $\chem{^{16}O}$ reaction belonging to the $\chem{^{16}O}$-2 $\alpha $ rotational band of $\chem{^{24}Mg}$. Moreover other resonances show up at higher excitation energy with an energy-spin relationship again suggesting a $\chem{^{16}O}$-2 $\alpha $ cluster structure for the associated configuration.
