Determination of the M-matrix in d-α elastic scattering from a complete set of experiments

Abstract Six polarization transfer coefficients of the d-α elastic scattering have been measured at an incident deuteron energy of 11.9 MeV and a scattering angle θlab = 37.3°. Together with earlier data on cross section and analyzing powers, a complete set of measurements allows to deduce the d-α M -matrix directly from experiment.
