Isovector stretched-state excitations were studied in the ({ital p},{ital n}) reaction at 136 MeV on the self-conjugate {ital s}-{ital d} shell nuclei {sup 20}Ne, {sup 24}Mg, {sup 28}Si, and {sup 32}S. The measurements were performed in three separate experiments using the beam-swinger neutron time-of-flight facility at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility. Neutrons were detected in large-volume plastic scintillation detectors located in three detector stations at 0{degree}, 24{degree}, and 45{degree} with respect to the undeflected beam line; the flight paths varied from 75 to 134 m. Overall time resolutions of about 825 ps provided energy resolutions of about 320 keV in the first two stations and about 425 keV in the third station. Both ({ital d}{sub 5/2},{ital d}{sub 5/2}{sup {minus}1})5{sup +} 0{h bar}{omega} and ({ital f}{sub 7/2},{ital d}{sub 5/2}{sup {minus}1})6{sup {minus}} 1{h bar}{omega} stretched-state excitations are observed in the ({ital p},{ital n}) reaction on {sup 20}Ne, {sup 24}Mg, and {sup 28}Si.
