Abstract

We report measurements of the 4 analyzing tensors and of up to 14 polarization-transfer coefficients, at each energy and angle studied, for ${}^{4}{He} (d, d) {}^{4}{He}$ elastic scattering. This number of observables greatly overdetermines the scattering matrix, and many consistency checks are therefore available. These data represent the first measurements of polarization-transfer phenomena in which both the incident and outgoing polarized particles have spin 1. Bombarding energies were in the range 4.8 to 9.0 MeV.
