Elastic scattering of 22 MeV alpha -particles by /sup 23, /sup 24,15,26/ Mg, /sup 27/Al and /sup 28/Si was measured between 24 and 174 deg lab. Partial angular distributions, from 120 to 174 deg , were also measured at incident energies of 18.4 and 20.7 MeV for /sup 24/Mg, and 18.9 and 20.5 MeV for /sup 28/ Si. The most striking feature of the data is the large-angle behavior spin-zero nuclei display more pronounced backward oscillations and the cross section rises more steeply towards 180 deg for 4n nuclei than for the others. Optical Model analyses with an l-dependent absorption and a minimum of free parameters are used to describe the general trend of the data for A = 23 to 28 nuclei at different energies; a spinorbit coupling term, 2.75 MeV deep, is added to describe the /sup 23/Na scattering data.
