Population of Resonant ${}^{12}C$ + ${}^{12}C$ States via the Reaction ${}^{12}C ({}^{16}O, α) {}^{24}{Mg}$

Excitation functions for the reaction

{}^{12}C ({}^{16}O, α) {}^{24}{Mg}

have been measured from

E_{lab} ({}^{16}O) = 62 to 110

MeV using a counter telescope at

θ_{lab} = 7.5 °

. Selective population of relatively few states at very high excitation energies in

{}^{24}{Mg}

[

E_{x} ({}^{24}{Mg}) > 20

MeV] is seen. A possible correspondence is found between these states and the narrow resonances reported in

{}^{12}C

{}^{12}C

reactions. In addition, a possible correspondence between averaged yields in

{}^{12}C ({}^{16}O, α) {}^{24}{Mg}

and gross structure seen in several

{}^{12}C

{}^{12}C

reaction channels is cited.
