Statistical analysis of 24Mg+24Mg elastic and inelastic scattering

The data on the excitation functions of 24Mg+24Mg elastic and inelastic (24Mg+24Mg*(2+), 24Mg*(2+)+24Mg*(2+), 24Mg+24Mg*(4+), 24Mg*(4+)+24Mg*(2+), 24Mg+24Mg*(6+)) scattering from Ec.m = 42 to 56 MeV have been subjected to a statistical analysis consisting of calculations of deviation function, cross-channel correlation coefficients, coherence widths, and the distribution of cross sections. On the basis of the analysis resonant structures at Ec.m = 45.70, 46.65, 47.35 and 47.75 MeV have been confirmed. Two new resonant structures at Ec.m = 44.55 and 50.50 MeV have been identified.
