Determination of the triton D-state parameter D/sub 2/ from sub-Coulomb (d,t) measurements

Measurements of the tensor analyzing powers for sub-Coulomb (d,t) reactions on /sup 91/Zr at E/sub d/ = 5 MeV and /sup 147/Sm at E/sub d/ = 6.5 MeV are presented. The measurements are analyzed to obtain values of the triton D-state parameter D/sub 2/. The results are found to be in good agreement with the D/sub 2/ values derived from previous sub-Coulomb measurements, and lend support to the contention that analyzing power measurements for sub-Coulomb (d,t) reactions provide reliable information about the D-state components.
