Several (n, gamma ) angular correlations of the neutron group leading to the 4.43 Mev level in C/sup 12/ and the associated gamma rays from the reaction B/sup 11/(d,n)C/sup 12/ were measured using time-of-flight techniques. The energies of the incident deuterons were 2.65 and 5.35 Mev, and the angles of the outgoing neutron direction were chosen at intervals of about 20 deg . The results of these measurements clearly show that the simple theory of Butler stripping is quite inadequate to describe the detailed features of the reaction mechanism but that good qualitative agreement of the results might be obtained with the distorted wave theory. Moreover the (n, gamma ) angular correlation measurements for backward angles of the neutrons do not show the expected features of the heavy particle stripping mechanism, which was used by other authors to account for the intensity of neutrons emitted at backward angles.
