Measurements of spin correlation and analyzing power in d-3He elastic scattering between 4 and 12 Mev

Abstract Analyzing powers and spin correlation parameters have been measured for d- 3 He elastic scattering at energies E d = 3.73 to 11.89 MeV at θ c.m. = 49.5°, 95.3°, and 120.0°. The LASL polarized beam was incident on a polarized 3 He target constructed at Rice. The geometry of the experiment permitted the measurement of the parameters: C y , A yy , A xx , A zz , A y T , C y , y , C x , x , C z , x , C yy , y , and C zz , y . The measured analyzing powers for deuterons and 3 He agree with earlier measurements. Some of the spin correlation parameters exhibit magnitudes which are comparable to the largest analyzing powers.
