We have measured differential cross sections for the {sup 2}H({ital d},{ital p}){sup 3}H and {sup 2}H({ital d},{ital n}){sup 3}He reactions at 11 deuteron bombarding energies from 20 to 117 keV. The differential data are accurate to 2.0% (relative) over most of the energy range, with an additional scale error of 1.3%. Integrated cross sections are derived with total errors generally about 1.5%. The results are compared with other measurements and with an existing {ital R}-matrix analysis. We find a larger {ital D}-wave reaction amplitude than previously reported. Formulas for the cross sections and reactivities are given.
