A study of the {sup 12}C({sup 20}Ne,thinsp{sup 16}Othinsp{sup 8}Be){sup 8}Be and {sup 12}C({sup 24}Mg,thinsp{sup 16}Othinsp{sup 8}Be){sup 12}C reactions has revealed {sup 16}O+{sup 8}Be breakup occurring from specific states in the {sup 24}Mg nucleus at high-excitation energies. A spin assignment has been determined for one of these states from an angular correlation measurement of the breakup fragments. In the {sup 20}Ne beam reaction, states have been identified at 22.33, 22.96, 24.00, 24.43, 24.88, 25.53, 27.35, 27.97, 28.88, and 30.13 MeV, and in the {sup 24}Mg beam reaction states have been identified at 20.58, 21.54, 22.70, and 24.31 MeV. The results have been compared with previous measurements of the {sup 12}C+{sup 12}C breakup channel. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
