Abstract

The differential cross sections for the two-neutron pickup reaction

{}^{26}{Mg}

(

{}^{4}{He}

{}^{6}{He}

)

{}^{24}{Mg}

have been found to exhibit a strong dependence on bombarding energy, evidence of some process other than a direct reaction. Angular distributions at a fixed energy for several low-lying states of

{}^{24}{Mg}

are found to exhibit structure reminiscent of known direct reactions, and we conclude that this signature cannot be considered proof of a direct reaction.
