Abstract

A kinematic analysis of broad peaks seen in the reaction

{}^{12}C ({}^{16}O, α)

is performed which demonstrates that contrary to previous speculations most of these structures are not states in

{}^{24}{Mg}

. Much weaker structures with

E_{x} ({}^{24}{Mg}) ≅ 25 and 28

MeV are identified as clusters of several narrow

{}^{24}{Mg}

states.
