Polarization effects in two-nucleon transfer reactions and time-reversal invariance

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Polarized /sup 3/He particles have been used to initiate (/sup 3/He, p) reactions on light nuclei. The results obtained have been compared with the available data for (/sup 3/He, pvec) and the inverse (p, /sup 3/He) reactions. It is suggested that the reactions proceed predominantly by a direct transfer mechanism and follow a simple reaction model which relates the polarization of the (/sup 3/He, p) to the analyzing power of the (/sup 3/He, p) reaction according to the S transfer. If time reversal invariance is applied, the present (/sup 3/He, p) results for /sup 7/Li and /sup 9/Be are in agreement with the (p, /sup 3/He) measurements on /sup 9/Be and /sup 11/B targets.
