The even-even nucleus 26 Mg has been studied through the reaction 27 Al(d, 3 He) at 25 MeV beam energy. The spectroscopic factors have been extracted upto 7.50 MeV excitation energy using local, zero range distorted wave Born approximation. The comparison of the spectroscopic factors have been done with previously reported values using the same reaction probe. The extracted spectroscopic factors for different excited states were found to be in good agreement with the previously reported values for the same. The present results were also compared with the predictions from shell model as well as rotational model. The analog states of 26 Al and 26 Mg were found to be in good agreement.PACS numbers: 24.10.
