Abstract
A triple-coincidence counter telescope consisting of two proportional counters and a solid-state detector was used to study the angular distributions of tritons and deuterons for the ground-state transitions of induced by 14.7-MeV neutrons. The relative triton-to-deuteron peak yield was found to be about 0.3. The () angular distribution is compared with pickup theory and with two other deuteron-transfer interactions between the ground states of and : the and reactions. In these reactions the orbital angular momentum of the picked-up deuteron is principally , with a smaller contribution from pickup suggested by the data. In addition, the angular distribution is compared with the Gaussian-cutoff pickup theory, and with the reaction to the ground state of the mirror nucleus . The angular distributions, absolute magnitudes, and reduced widths of the two reactions are nearly identical, as expected. Cluster-model interpretations of the data are discussed.
