$\alpha$-clustering effects in dissipative ${}^{12}$C $+$ ${}^{12}$C reactions at 95 MeV

Dissipative ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}+{}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ reactions at 95 MeV are fully detected in charge with the GARFIELD and RCo apparatuses at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro. A comparison to a dedicated Hauser-Feshbach calculation allows us to select events which correspond, to a large extent, to the statistical evaporation of highly excited ${}^{24}$Mg, as well as to extract information on the isotopic distribution of the evaporation residues in coincidence with their complete evaporation chain. Residual deviations from statistical behavior are observed in $\alpha$ yields and attributed to the persistence of cluster correlations well above the ${}^{24}$Mg threshold for six-$\alpha$ decay.
