Abstract

We have examined the difference between polarization and analyzing power for the reaction ${}^{3}H (p, n) {}^{3}{He}$ . We find that this difference is due to the presence of ${}^{3}P_{2} \leftrightarrow {}^{3}F_{2}$ transitions which are enhanced in the vicinity of the lowest $2^{-}$ state of ${}^{4}{He}$ .
