Abstract

The analysing power for the elastic scattering of 14.1 MeV neutrons by deuterons has been measured at 17 angles between 44.5° and 161.6° in the centre of mass. A polynomial fit to this data combined with that at the same energy by Preiswerk et al. and Fischer et al. has been made and compared with a similar fit to the p-d data of Duder et al. Significant differences are found over the full angular range. Similar comparisons have also been made on existing data at other energies between 8 and 50 MeV. The polynomial expansion coefficients have been determined as a function of energy and show differences between p-d and n-d scattering which vary smoothly with energy and appear to be greater than the experimental errors.
