Abstract
The population and decay of excited states in 24Mg have been investigated using the 12C(16O, 12C 12C)α reaction at beam energies of 135 and 160 MeV. This measurement permitted the decay spectrum to be measured up to 24Mg excitation energies of 70 MeV. Resonance structures were observed up to an excitation energy of 49.4 MeV and spin J = 18ℏ. The results are discussed in terms of the termination of a deformed 12C + 12C cluster band.
