Abstract
The D(d, p) reaction was used to measure the vector polarization of the deuteron beam from the atomic beam polarized ion source at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. The vector polarized deuteron beam was produced using a weak field transition. The polarization pz of the deuteron beam was determined from the measured asymmetry and known analyzing power Ay(θ) of the D(d, p) reaction with 200 keV deuterons. The experimentally determined value of pz was found to be −0.462±0.029 which is 69±6% of the maximum theoretical value. Within the statistical uncertainties, the measured beam polarization agrees with the value given by the manufacturer.
