Abstract

The analyzing power Ay(θ) for the 2H(d, n)3Heg.s., reaction was measured from 0° to about 150° (c.m.) at 5.5, 7.0, 8.5, 10.0 and 11.5 MeV. The experiment was conducted with a newly developed pulsing and bunching system for the polarized deuteron beam and used standard time-of-flight neutron detection. The present results disagree in some angular regions with measurements of the same observable reported recently by a Zürich group who detected the 3He particles, but agree with the limited angular distribution measured at 10 MeV by Hilscher and Liers, who also detected 3He particles. The present results are reported in terms of associated Legendre polynomial expansions of the product σ(θ)Ay (θ).
