Ka. Fletcher et al., TENSOR ANALYZING POWERS FOR H-2 (D,P)H-3 AND H-2(D,N)HE-3 AT DEUTERONENERGIES OF 25, 40, 60, AND 80 KEV, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 49(5), 1994, pp. 2305-2310
Angular distributions of the tensor analyzing powers A(zz) and A(xx) -
A(yy) for the reactions H-2(d, p)H-3 and H-2(d, n)He-3 are presented
at deuteron energies of 25, 40, 60, and 80 keV. The analyzing powers f
or the two reaction channels are quite similar at these energies. The
data have been included in an R-matrix analysis of the four nucleon sy
stem. According to this analysis, transitions from entrance-channel qu
intet-S states are important in these reactions, so that the use of po
larized, fuels would not result in a neutron-lean fusion reaction.
