Reanalysis of pp coincidence data acquired in studies of superdeformed bands in Hg and Tl nuclei has yielded spectroscopic information about light neutron-rich products of binary reactions of S, S, and Cl beams on Gd targets. Gates set on known p rays in A~160 products selected individual reaction channels and identified coincident p rays in A 36 partner products. Transfers of protons &om projectile to target and of neutrons from target to projectile were generally favored, leading to excited neutron-rich light nuclei, including some dificult to reach by other means. Notable results include the observation of p ray cascades up to the highest known yrast states in four N=20 isotones. In two N=19 nuclei, Si and P, and the two N=22 nuclei, S and Cl, previously unknown yrast states were identified.PACS number(s): 23.20.Lv, 25.70.z, 27.30.+t
