POLARIZATION MEASUREMENTS ON D + D AND T + D NEUTRONS GENERATED BY LOW ENERGY DEUTERONS

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.

The Polarization of D + D and T + D neutrons has been determined from the left-right asymmetry induced by elastic scattering through He/sup 4/. A gas scintillator with helium served as the scatterer. The scattered neutrons were detected in coincidence with the helium recoil nuclel. The D + D neutron polarization was found to increase from 6% at 200 kev to about 9.5% at 500 kev deuteron bombarding energy. Neutrons from the T + D reaction appeared to be nearly unpolarized for deuteron energies below 300 kev. (auth)
