Abstract

The γ-decay properties of 24 Mg excited states are investigated in the inverse reaction 24 Mg+ 12 C at E lab ( 24 Mg) = 130 MeV. At this energy the direct inelastic scattering populates a 24 Mg * energy region where 12 C+ 12 C breakup resonances can occur. Very exclusive data were collected with the Binary Reaction Spectrometer (BRS) in coincidence with EUROBALL installed at the VIVITRON Tandem facility of the IReS at Strasbourg. The experimental detection system is described and preliminary results of binary reaction coincidence data are presented.
