Abstract

The directional correlation between the 1.368-Mev gamma ray and the 2.75-Mev gamma ray of Mg24 was measured in an effort to strengthen the spin and parity assignment of the 4.12-Mev state. The data yield a least-squares solid-angle-corrected correlation function W(θ)=1+(0.102±0.003)P2(cosθ)+(0.009±0.005)×P4(cosθ). This is consistent with the assignment (4+) for the 4.12-Mev state and analysis indicates that there can be at most 0.003% M3 radiation mixed with pure E2 radiation in the 2.75-Mev gamma ray transition.
