Analyzing power in the mass-six supermultiplet system

Analyzing powers Asub(y) for reactions leading to several members of the mass-six supermultiplet have been measured via the t(pol)+9Be→6Li + 6He, 6Li*+6He reactions at 17 MeV triton energy. In contrast to the previously measured differential cross sections, which show symmetry about 900 for both the S=1 and S=0 channels. Asub(y) is consistent with being antisymmetry about 900 for the S=0 channel and is approximately symmetric for the S=1 channel. An antisymmetric result for the S=0 isospin-multiplet channel could be understood by invoking isospin symmetry, in analogy to the well-known Barshay-Temmer theorem. The reaction leading to the S=1 channel is discussed in terms of a direct reaction mechanism; however, the symmetry of Asub(y) about 900 is not understood. (Auth.)
