The proton polarization resulting from proton-deuteron elastic scattering was measured in a double-scattering experiment. The first scattering took place in helium, which served as a polarizer, and the left-right asymmetry observed in a second scattering in deuterium. Spurious asymmetries were checked by substituting xenon and, separately, helium for deuterium as the second scatterer. Measurements taken at a proton-deuteron scattering energy of E =3.4 Mev, theta =45 deg and 90 deg , and E = 3.74 Mev, theta =45 deg all yielded results consistent with no polarization. From . these data it is concluded that the proton polarization in p-d elastic scattering is < approximately 10% in this energy region. (auth)
