Abstract

It is pointed out that the fact that isotropy does not necessarily follow for a reaction induced by polarized s-wave deuterons may enable one to use, for example, the T(d,n)He/sup 4/ reaction as a sensitive detector of the polarization of a deuteron beam. This reaction will also serve as a source of polarized 14-Mev neutrons. (W.D.M.)
