Abstract

The vector analysing power of the reaction 3H(d,n)4He has been measured for laboratory angles between 25° and 155° at deuteron energies of 6 MeV and 10 MeV. For the mirror reaction 3He(d,p)4He, measurements were performed at the same deuteron energies for laboratory angles between 105° and 150°. For the angles between 105° and 150° the average ratio of the vector analysing power of 3He(d,p)4He to that of 3H(d,n)4He is 1.016 ± 0.015 at 6 MeV and 1.035 ± 0.020 at 10 MeV. At all angles the measured vector analysing power of the 3H(d,n)4He reaction agrees to within ± 0.025 with results previously obtained at this laboratory for the 3He(d,p)4He reaction.
