Abstract

A polarized beam was used to measure the asymmetry in the angular distribution of the particles from the 6Li(p, 3He)4He reaction at 15 different energies from 0.4 to 3.2 MeV. The polarization efficiency can be fitted with associated Legendre polynomials. At 1 MeV and below the coefficient of P11 is large and all other terms are negligible. Above 1 MeV, the coefficients of P11 and P31 are also significant. The data were measured typically to an accuracy of 2% with a target 30 keV thick at 1 MeV bombarding energy. A polarization contour map is given. The polarization is generally large and positive.
