The differential cross section for the elastic scattering of deuterons by tritons has been measured in the energy range 0.96 Mev to 3.22 Mev. The angular range of data is between 44.3° and 126.4° in the center-of-mass system of coordinates. The values of the cross section have a minimum near 90°, and this minimum decreases steadily and moves to higher angles as the incident deuteron energy is increased. At 1.20 Mev the cross section at the minimum is equal to 0.130 barn, and at 3.22 it is 0.019 barn.
