Jr. Walston et al., POLARIZATION TRANSFER IN THE H-3((P)OVER-RIGHT-ARROW,(N)OVER-RIGHT-ARROW)HE-3 REACTION AND THE 0(-) LEVEL IN HE-4, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 58(2), 1998, pp. 1314-1317
Longitudinal polarization-transfer coefficients for the H-3((p) over r
ight arrow,(n) over right arrow)He-3 reaction have been measured at ze
ro degrees for proton energies of 1.3-2.8 MeV. The results show a stri
king resonance behavior for energies corresponding to excitation of th
e 0(-) level in He-4 at 21.0 MeV. In agreement with R-matrix calculati
ons, the value approaches unity at 1.52 MeV, the peak of the resonance
. Near this same energy, at 1.62 MeV, the transverse polarization-tran
sfer coefficient was measured to be consistent with zero.
