Abstract

Arguments based on recent level width and

α

branching ratio measurements are presented to show that

{}^{12}C

+

{}^{12}C

resonances may not be populated by the

{}^{12}C ({}^{16}O, α) {}^{24}{Mg}

reaction as reported. Recent

α

spectra obtained at high bombarding energy are explained assuming

{}^{16}O

projectile excitation followed by

α

emission.
