/sup 12/C + /sup 24/Mg elastic scattering angular distributions have been measured at 12 bombarding energies over a range 20 MeV < or = E/sub lab/ < or = 36 MeV. The elastic S matrix elements were parametrized in the framework of a complex Woods-Saxon potential. The measured angular distributions exhibit some irregular structure at surprisingly low energies: and no optical potential has been found to reproduce this low energy structure. Three surface-transparent optical potentials (one of which has energy-independent well depths) have been found to give a good overall account of the data. All three of these potentials predict essentially identical cross sections for angles < or approx. = 120/sup 0/; additionally, they predict strong but strikingly different oscillations in the 180/sup 0/ elastic scattering excitation function.
