Abstract

The polarization of 21 MeV 3He elastically scattered from 27Al and 28Si has been measured in an angular range of θlab = 25°–55°. Differential cross-section data have been obtained out to angles of approximately 100°. The small values observed in the polarization distributions differ somewhat from optical-model predictions based on fits to the differential cross-section data and cannot be used to obtain significant information about the optical-model spin-orbit potential. It is concluded that statistically significant, non-zero 3He polarization measurements will not be possible using traditional double scattering techniques for 3He energies ≦ 27 MeV and targets of Z ≧ 13.
