The directional correlation between the 1.368-Mev gamma ray and the 2.75- Mev ganna ray of Mg/sup 24/ 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( theta ) = 1 + (0.102 plus or minus 0.003)P/sub 2/(cos theta ) + (0.009 plus or minus 0.005) x P/sub 4/(cos theta ). This is consistent with the assigrunent (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.
