Prominent gross and intermediate width structures are observed in the /sup 12/C+/sup 12/C, /sup 12/C+/sup 12/C((2/sup +/), /sup 1/C((2/sup +/)+ /sup 12/C((2/sup +/), /sup 8/Be+/sup 16/O, and /sup 8/Be+/sup 16/O/sup +/(3/sup -/, O/sup +/) decay channels following /sup 24/Mg* population via the /sup 12/C(/sup 16/O,..cap alpha..)/sup 24/Mg reaction at E/sub c.m./ = 33 MeV. Evidence that the /sup 12/C(/sup 16/O,..cap alpha..)/sup 24/Mg reaction populates states in /sup 24/Mg which are associated with /sup 12/C+ /sup 12/C resonances is presented in the form of correlation analyses between the ..cap alpha..+ /sup 12/C+ /sup 12/C three-body spectra and previously measured /sup 12/C+ /sup 12/C elastic and inelastic excitation functions. Direct determination of /sup 12/C+ /sup 12/C widths from these measurements is obscured by a background of other strong transitions which appear to be present in the /sup 12/C(/sup 16/O,..cap alpha..)/sup 24/Mg singles spectrum.
