Spin polarization of 29P produced through low energy nuclear reaction

Spin polarization of short-lived β-emitting nucleus 29P (I π = 1/2 + , T 1/2 = 4.14 s) produced through the 28P(d, n) 29P reaction was studied as functions of the incident deuteron energy E d and the recoil angle θ of 29P. New optimum condition was found at E d = 3.3 MeV and θ = 30° where polarization of 29P is −(4.1 ± 0.7) %.
