LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Spin of a New Level in 24Mg

An energy level at 6.44 Mev in Mg/sup 24/ is postulated to account for a 5.05-1.37 Mev gamma cascade observed in the inelastic scattering of protons from Mg/sup 24/. The spin of this level is measured to be 0, and the spins of established levels at 5.44 and 6.01 Mev are found to be 3+ and 4+ respectively. (T.F.H.)
