Abstract

The study of the

{}^{16}O

+^{12}

\to^{12}

+^{12}

C+α reaction performed at E

(^{16}

O)=113 MeV shows evidence for the excitation of resonant states of

{}^{24}{Mg}

, eventually decaying in the

{}^{12}C

+^{12}

C channel, with a width of about 500 keV. From the angular correlation of the two emitted

{}^{12}C

ions a value J=14 is obtained for the spin of two resonances at 35.1 and 36.3 MeV excitation energy. This allows for an intepretation in terms of quasimolecular states of

{}^{24}{Mg}

. The data are compared with previous results obtained at 85 MeV incident energy, and the role of the angular momentum transfer in the reaction process is discussed.
