ENERGY AND ANGULAR DEPENDENCE OF THE LEFT-RIGHT ASYMMETRY OF D-D NEUTRONS SCATTERED BY CARBON
The left-right asymmetry in the intensity of neutrons from the D--D reaction, scattered by carbon, was measured for deuteron energies between 300 and 500 bev, at two angles THETA /sub 1lab/ = 50 deg and 22 deg 30', with a Bold "dirve-in" target. The polarization vector was tunned by the magnetic field of a solenoid, and the detectors remained in a fixed position. From the comparison of the computed energy average of the effect with the experimental values it follows that the analyzing properties of C/sup 12/ derived from the phase analysis of Meier et al., give a much better agreement than those according to Wills et al. The experiments could not decide upon the possible existence of a sin 4 THETA / sub 1/ dependence of the differential polarization of the D--D neurons. From the energy dependence of the differential polarization taken from other authors it follows that, within the limits of the description of the D--D reaction by Beiduk Pruett, and KonopinskL, indeed other non-central forces besides the tensor force are present in the nucleon-nucleon interaction.
