Novel technique for measuring the vector polarization of a deuteron

OSTI ID:6584915
The usual method of double scattering that is employed for measuring the vector polarization (P = 2/..sqrt..3 it/sub 11/) of final state deuterons in a reaction is to use the appreciable analyzing power available for certain angular regions of elastic scattering or deuteron initiated reactions. For increasing deuteron energies the cross section and/or analyzing power for such processes generally decreases, thus limiting the utility of this technique at intermediate energies. We recently developed a method for measuring it/sub 11/ and demonstrated its validity for deuterons in the energy range 500 to 600 MeV. The technique should be applicable for deuteron energies in the range 400 MeV to a few GeV. A brief description of the technique is given.
