Abstract

Angular distributions of the analyzing tensors for $d - {}^{4}{He}$ elastic scattering in the angular range 30-145° (c.m.) and at 12, 14, and 17 MeV are presented. An over-all absolute precision of about ±0.01 is obtained. In addition to the complete angular distributions, data were taken in a fine mesh near 12 MeV, 37° (lab), where the analyzing tensor $A_{yy}$ apparently approaches unity. The manner in which it can be decided whether or not $A_{yy}$ goes to exactly unity is discussed. If this is found to be the case, a valuable absolute polarization standard will be available.
