The argular distributions and spectra for the neutron pickup reactions Mg/sup 26/(p,t)Mg/sup 24/ and Mg ( alpha ,He/sup 6/)Mg/sup 24/ at 28 and 40 Mev, respectively, are compared. The equality of the ground state pickup momentum transfers at 15 deg permits a study of the relative excitations for transitions to the discrete state observed. The ground ( theta +), 1.37-Mev (2/sup +/), 4.12- 4.23 Mev (4/sup +/--2/sup +/), 5.22-Mev (3/sup +/), and 6-Mev (4/sup +/) states are compared. Unresolved structure at higher energies is compared in terms of its gross properties. Higher charge particles-Li/sup 6/, Li/sup 7/, and perhaps Be/sup 7/-were also observed. The Li/sup 6/ and Li/sup 7/ yield was notably stronger than the He/sup 6/ yield, and the energy distribution showed marked structure. (auth
