Excitation of the highly-excited rotational band inMg24byB10+N14

Evidence is presented for populating the ${12}^{+}$ and ${14}^{+}$ members of the excited ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ +${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ rotational band in ${}_{}{}^{24}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mg}$ by the ${}_{}{}^{10}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{B}$ +${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$ entrance channel. Excitation functions of the ${}_{}{}^{10}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{B}({}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N},\alpha ){}_{}{}^{20}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ne}$ reaction close to 0° and 180° near the Coulomb barrier exhibit pronounced resonances and forward-backward cross-section asymmetries at the energies of these two ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ +${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ resonances.
