Polarization of Protons from Deuteron Stripping Reactions

Abstract

The proton polarization angular distributions from the following reactions have been measured: ${\mathrm{C}}^{12}(d,p){\mathrm{C}}^{13*}(3.09 \mathrm{MeV},{l}_{n}=0)$; ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{24}(d,p){\mathrm{Mg}}^{25}(\mathrm{g}.\mathrm{s}.,{l}_{n}=2,\mathrm{and} 0.58 \mathrm{MeV},{l}_{n}=0)$; ${\mathrm{Be}}^{9}(d,p){\mathrm{Be}}^{10}(\mathrm{g}.\mathrm{s}.,{l}_{n}=1,\mathrm{and} 3.37 \mathrm{MeV},{l}_{n}=1)$; ${\mathrm{Si}}^{28}(d,p){\mathrm{Si}}^{29*}(1.28 \mathrm{MeV},{l}_{n}=2)$. The incident deuteron energy was 15 MeV. Carbon and helium were used as polarization analyzers. The results are discussed in terms of distorted-wave theory. In addition to the polarization measurements, the differential cross section of deuterons elastically scattered from aluminum, silicon, and beryllium has been determined.
