Twenty-seven proton angular distributions for the elastic scattering from magnesium and for the inelastic scattering from Mg/sup 24/, leading to the first excited state at 1.37 Mev, are presented in the energy range from 7.32 to 15.85 Mev. The elastic angular distribution shows generally maxima and minima of the diffraction type. The absolute cross sections at fixed angles, however, vary appreciably from energy to energy, particularly at backward angles. The angular distribution for inelastic scattering varies remarkably with the incident energy, especially in the energy range less than 12 Mev. The integrated cross section for the inelastic scattering also shows variations with energy. The results are compared with other experiments. The emitted spectrum of inelastic protons is also presented in connecttion with the study of angular distribution. The conclusion is that neither the simple theory of direct process and/orcal model, nor that of compound process explains the results completely. (auth)
