The polarization of protons from the 2H(d, [formula omitted]) 3H reaction for deuteron energies below 1 MeV

Abstract

The angular distribution of proton polarization P γ' ( θ) from the 2 H( d, p ) 3 H reaction has been measured at 975 keV deuteron energy. Moreover, the energy dependence of P γ′ ( E d) was measured at 45°(lab) for deuteron energies between 250 and 975 keV. The values of σ 0( θ) P γ' ( θ) were fitted in terms of an associated Legendre polynomial expansion. The measured energy dependence of P γ' ( E d) has been analyzed in terms of barrier-penetration parameters.
