Charged-particle and {gamma} decays in {sup 24}Mg* are investigated for excitation energies where quasimolecular resonances appear in {sup 12}C+{sup 12}C collisions. Various theoretical predictions for the occurrence of superdeformed and hyperdeformed bands associated with resonance structures with low spin are discussed within the measured {sup 24}Mg* excitation energy region. The inverse kinematics reaction {sup 24}Mg+{sup 12}C is studied at E{sub lab}({sup 24}Mg)=130 MeV, an energy that enables the population of {sup 24}Mg states decaying into {sup 12}C+{sup 12}C resonant breakup states. Exclusive data were collected with the Binary Reaction Spectrometer in coincidence with Euroball IV installed at the Vivitron tandem facility at Strasbourg. Specific structures with large deformation were selectively populated in binary reactions, and their associated {gamma} decays studied. Coincident events associated with inelastic and {alpha}-transfer channels have been selected by choosing the excitation energy or the entry point via the two-body Q values. The analysis of the binary reaction channels is presented with a particular emphasis on {sup 24}Mg-{gamma}, {sup 20}Ne-{gamma}, and {sup 16}O-{gamma} coincidences. New information (spin and branching ratios) is deduced on high-energy states in {sup 24}Mg and {sup 16}O, respectively.
