Abstract
A method of analyzing gamma-ray angular distribution and direction-polarization data to yield values for the relative amplitudes of mixed multipole gamma-ray transitions is described. The analysis of the data does not demand a knowledge of the mechanism of formation of the gamma-emitting level. Measurements are reported on some mixed M1E2 de-excitation gamma rays from low-lying levels in Mg25, Al27, Si29, and P31; these levels were excited by inelastic proton scattering. The following results were obtained:
