Title: Polarization measurements and optical-model potential for tritons

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett., v. 35, no. 24, pp. 1623-1625

The recent installation of a polarized-triton-ion source on the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory tandem Van de Graaff accelerator has allowed the measurement of analyzing powers for triton elastic scattering over a wide range of angles. The data obtained from scattering polarized tritons on $sup 52$Cr, $sup 60$Ni, $sup 90$Zr, and $sup 208$Pb show unexpectedly large analyzing powers at backward angles. This leads to spin-orbit well depths greater than predicted by an optical-model analysis based on folding-model calculations. (AIP)
