We searched for the 6α-condensed state in $^{24}$Mg by measuring the scattering with the SAKRA Si detector array at –25.0 MeV. By using the invariant-mass method for the detected 3α particles, the inclusive cross sections for the and reactions were determined. In addition, the missing-mass spectroscopy was successfully utilized to determine the excitation energy of the residual nucleus and the exclusive cross sections for the , , and reactions. In both the inclusive channel and the exclusive channel, the cross section peaked at MeV, which correspond to the excitation energy of MeV in $^{24}$Mg. This 19.4-MeV state is a candidate for the 6α-condensed state because of the agreement of the excitation energy with the theoretical value and its decay property. In the exclusive channel, a broad state was observed at MeV, which correspond to the excitation energy of MeV in $^{24}$Mg. From the angular distribution of the differential cross section, the spin and parity of this 22.5-MeV state was assigned to be . In addition, a state was suggested at the low-energy side of the 22.5-MeV state. Because their excitation energies are higher than the theoretical value of the 6α-condensed state, these states might be excited states of the 6α-condensed state such as the and states in .
