Measurements have been made of {Delta}{sigma}{sub T} for polarized neutrons incident on a polarized proton target from 3.65 to 11.60 MeV. In the energy range near 10 MeV, {Delta}{sigma}{sub T} is very sensitive to the nucleon-nucleon tensor interaction. Comparison of the data to potential-model predictions indicate that the tensor interaction is weak, resulting in values of the {sup 3}S{sub 1}-{sup 3}D{sub 1} mixing parameter {epsilon}{sub 1} which are smaller than predicted by any nucleon-nucleon potential model. A smaller tensor force will bring the predictions of local potential models for the triton binding energy into closer agreement with the experimental value.
