The vector polarization transfer parameter K/sub y/y' for the /sup 1/H(d vector,p vector)D stripping reaction has been measured at 7.5/sup 0/ and 19.3/sup 0/ lab for an incident beam energy of 45.5 MeV. A helium polarimeter system was used to monitor the beam polarization and a carbon polarimeter assembly, located at the focal plane of a spectrograph, was used to determine the polarization of the reaction protons. The d vector-/sup 1/H vector analyzing power for the two angles of interest was also measured, as was the 36 MeV p vector-/sup 12/C vector analyzing power. The results of the K/sub y/y' measurement help to complete an angular distribution in a region where two theoretical predictions disagree, placing new constraints on future theoretical calculations.
