Abstract

Angular distributions of the reaction ${}^{2}H (p, γ) {}^{3}{He}$ have been measured for $E_{p}$ from 6.5 to 16 MeV. A comparison of the extracted $a_{2}$ coefficients with an effective two-body direct calculation indicates a sensitivity to the inclusion of $D$ -state components in the ${}^{3}{He}$ wave function. These calculations use ${}^{3}{He}$ bound-state wave functions generated from Faddeev-type equations. The theoretical three-body ${}^{3}{He}$ ground-state wave functions having $D$ -state probabilities of 5%-9% ( $D_{2} = - 0.224 to - 0.236$ ) are consistent with the present data.
