Abstract

Vector-polarized deuterons from a tandem accelerator were used to measure the vector analysing power in d-α elastic scattering at deuteron energies from 3 to 11 MeV in steps of 1 MeV, for c.m. angles between 21° and 152°. A phase-shift analysis was carried out of the differential cross section and of tensor and vector polarization data. It was found that f-waves must be included above 8 MeV. The analysis confirms the presence of the two known d-wave resonances. The p-wave phase shifts were found to be small. An alternate solution with large p-wave phase shifts was found at 8 MeV.
