The Polarization of Protons from the 12C(d, p)13C Reaction

The polarization of the ground state protons emitted when 12C is bombarded with 8.9 MeV deuterons has been measured at several angles. These results have been compared with recent calculations of Newns and Refai. The angular distribution of the polarization was found to have the predicted shape but its sign and magnitude suggest an improbable proton-nucleus interaction.
