An investigation of the /sup 2/H(p vector,..gamma..)/sup 3/He and /sup 1/H(d vector,..gamma..)/sup 3/He reactions has been made to provide precision measurements of angular distributions of both cross section and analyzing power in order to test current models of the three body system. Angular distribution of cross section for the /sup 2/H(p,..gamma..)/sup 3/He reaction have been measured at proton beam energies of 6.5, 8.0, 11.0, 15.0, and 16.0 MeV at 13 to 17 angles. Angular distributions of analyzing power were also measured at both 8 and 16 MeV for 9 and 13 angles, respectively. The analyzing powers and cross sections were obtained for the /sup 1/H(d vector,..gamma..)/sup 3/He reaction at E/sub p/ = 1.62 MeV for 5 angles from 50/sup 0/ to 135/sup 0/. Finally, fore-aft asymmetries were measured in 1 MeV steps between 6 and 16 MeV.
