Abstract

Angular distributions of vector analyzing power, Ay, were measured for the B11(p,d)B10 and C13(p,d)C12 reactions. These analyzing powers were measured for each reaction at seven energies, 100 keV apart, which spanned the same excitation-energy range in the compound nuclei, C12 and N14, as existing measurements of the outgoing proton polarization, Py, in the inverse reactions, B10(d,p)B11 and C12(d,p)C13. We find general agreement between Py and Ay except in a region where the Py measurements are known to be difficult to make. We are not yet convinced that this difference constitutes evidence for a violation of time-reversal invariance.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS B11(p,d)B10 measured Ay(θ,E) for E=11.34 to 11.94 MeV. C13(p,d)C12 measured Ay(θ,E) for E=13.79 to 14.39 MeV.
