We have studied natural parity states in $^{26}\mathrm{Mg}$ via the $^{22}\mathrm{Ne}$($^{6}\mathrm{Li}$, $d$)$^{26}\mathrm{Mg}$ reaction. Our method significantly improves the energy resolution of previous experiments and, as a result, we report the observation of a natural parity state in $^{26}\mathrm{Mg}$. Possible spin-parity assignments are suggested on the basis of published \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray decay …
