Abstract

Excitation functions of the reaction

{}^{12}C ({}^{12}C, p) {}^{23}{Na}

reveal a distinct set of resonances in the

{\frac{11}{2}}^{+}

,

{\frac{13}{2}}^{+}

, (

{\frac{15}{2}}^{+}

), and (

{\frac{17}{2}}^{+}

) members of the

{}^{23}{Na}

K^{π} = {\frac{3}{2}}^{+}

ground-state band near

E_{x} ({}^{24}{Mg}) = 25.2, 28.2, and 33.3

MeV. These plus earlier data suggest the possible existence of an excited collective band in

{}^{24}{Mg}

with very high deformation and large

{}^{12}C

+

{}^{12}C

width.
