Angular distributions of direct interaction proton groups corresponding to individual Mg/sup 27/ levels were measured and found to agree with theory. Nuclear temperatures of 1.55 plus or minus 0.15 and 0.49 plus or minus 0.02 Mev were found for the resctions (n,p gamma ) + (n,pn) and (n,np) respectively. Cross sections for proton emission were determined to be 273 plus or minus 20 mb (total), 89 mb compound and 27 mb direct ((n,p gamma )+ (n.pn)), and 157 mb ((n,np)). Spins are assigned to several Mg/sup 27/ levels. Angular distributions of deuteron groups corresponding to Mg/sup 26/ levels were measured, and reduced widths were extracted and found to agree with the rotational model. (D.J.C.)
