The reaction channels of the system /sup 16/O + /sup 16/O with outgoing heavy parti cles from lithium to magnesium were measured using a DELTA E-E telescope. Excitation functions from 49 to 65 MeV at theta /sub Lab/ = 30 deg and angular distributions from theta /sub Lab = 10 (20) to 50 DE at E/sub Lab/ = 51.5 MeV are presented for the strong transitions. The excitation function of the /sup 12/C-/sup 20/Ne (4.25 MeV) channel shows a pronounced regular cross structure with peaks at 52 and 60 MeV. A selective excitation of certain states in the inelastic scattering and the /sup 12/C-/sup 20/Ne channel is observed, the yields of the other heavy-ion channels being weaker by at least one order of magnitude. An explanation of this phenomenon is given by considering the angular momentum matching between entrance and exit channels. Furthermore it is shown that no strong dependence of the cross sections on the transferred angular momentum or on the nuclear structure of the final states is observed. Possible implications of these results on the reaction mechanism are discussed. (auth)
