Abstract
In a spectroscopic study of the backward-angle yield from /sup 12/C+/sup 24/Mg at 3--4 times the Coulomb barrier, we find a strong preference for natural parity transitions in the excitation of close-to-yrast rotational bands. This selectivity is in strong quantitative disagreement with Hauser-Feshbach calculations for a compound-nuclear reaction and provides evidence for the conservation of the dinuclear parentage.
