A new angular correlation analysis technique for assigning spins to alpha-unbound
states of nuclei that feed alpha-unbound states of other nuclei is described. A
kinematically complete experiment was performed to study the reaction ¹²C(¹⁶O,
alpha)²⁴Mg*, populating alpha-unbound states of ²⁴Mg that decay to alpha-unbound states
of ²⁰Ne, where all final state particles were detected. The new analysis technique was
used to unambiguously identify the first Ipi = 12+ state of ²⁴Mg at 26.3 MeV. The new
12+ state is discussed in the context of the collective and shell models. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Physics in partial fulfillment of the
