The level structures of 28 Mg and 29 Mg have been investigated by the β-decay of spin-polarized28 Na and 29 Na at ISAC, TRIUMF. The detailed β-γ and γ-γ coincidence measurements were performed. New γ rays and β transitions were observed both in 28 Mg and 29 Mg . We have succeeded in assigning spins and parities of many levels in 28 Mg and 29 Mg . Comparison with shell model calculations using USD Hamiltonian suggest that the structure of 28 Mg and 29 Mg are well explained in the sd-shell configurations, except for two levels at 1.095 and 1.430 MeV in 29 Mg . This suggests negative parity assignments for these levels. The evolution of sd-pf shell is discussed.
