Investigation of the three nucleon system by p-d elastic scattering with polarized protons and deuterons

The differential cross section and the proton analyzing power have been measured in proton-deuteron elastic scattering for proton laboratory energies between 8.5 and 22.7 MeV. For a corresponding laboratory deuteron energy of 17 to 45.4 MeV the deuteron vector analyzing power and the two tensor analyzing power components were determined in an angular range between approximately 300 and 1600 in the c.m. system. In the indicated energy range data at 6 or 7 different energies were obtained. (Auth.)
