Abstract

The general method for the empirical continuation to the transfer pole of polarization observables in nuclear reaction is presented. A critical review of the reliability and stability of the angular continuation method and the problems involved are given. We point out the reasons of the quite different difficulties which arise in the continuation of the polarization observables from the 1H(d, p)2H reaction by any method applied so far, and propose a way to avoid the failure. In a refined analysis a new deuteron ηd = AD/AS value of 0.0273 ± 0.0005 has been derived from the polarization observables of the 2H(d, p)3H reaction. This new value is stable and in good agreement with previous results.
