Study of the reactions 2H(d,p)3H and 2H(d,n)3He with a polarized deuteron beam. Measurement of the analyzing power

The angular distributions of all charged particles produced in the mirror reactions 2H(d,p)3H and 2H(d,n)3He in a gaseous deuterium target approx.10 keV thick have been measured for polarized-deuteron energies from 60 to 485 keV for various orientations of the beam axis. The angular distributions of the analyzing powers A/sub y/(theta), A/sub z/z(theta), A/sub x/z(theta), and A/sub x/x-yy(theta) have been measured for 12 values of the energy for each reaction at angles from 200 to 1500 (in the laboratory frame). The results are shown as contour diagrams and compared with the results of similar experiments. The differences found are attributed to the effect of the target thickness and the energy calibration
