Angular distributions of the analyzing power and differential cross section for ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}(\overrightarrow{t}, t){}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ elastic scattering are reported for triton bombarding energies of 9.02, 11.00, 13.02, 15.02, 16.00, and 17.02 MeV, over a c.m. angular range from 25° to 155°. Excitation functions for the analyzing power are presented for the energy range 14.42-17.22 MeV. Problems in the phase-shift analysis of the data are discussed.
