Polarized triton scattering from /sup 26/Mg, /sup 27/Al and /sup 28/Si at 17 MeV

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5218365

Differential-cross-section and analyzing-power angular distributions were measured for 17 MeV tritons elastically scattered from targets of /sup 26/Mg, /sup 27/Al, and /sup 28/Si in the angular range 20 to 160/sup 0/. The experiment was performed at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Van de Graaff facility using the Lamb-shift polarized triton source and the supercube scattering chamber. A pair of detector telescopes with angular resolutions of +-0.4/sup 0/ detected the reaction products, with mass identification and storage performed by an on-line computer. The triton beam intensity available at the target was about 70 nA with a polarization of 0.77. The target thicknesses were about 3 mg/cm/sup 2/, although thinner targets were used for the /sup 27/Al forward-angle data.
