Polarized triton experiments on the five-nucleon system

Angular distributions of the analyzing power, polarization function, and polarization transfer coefficient K/sub y//sup prime//sub y/ at E/sub t/ = 10.5 MeV for the /sup 2/H(t, n)/sup 4/He reaction have been measured. In addition, K/sub y//sup prime//sub y/(0degree) data for energies between 6 and 14 MeV have been obtained. Both neutron and charged particle detection were used in these measurements. Also, an angular distribution of the analyzing power for the elastic scattering process /sup 2/H(t, t)/sup 2/H at 10.5 MeV is presented. Comparisons with predictions of an R-matrix analysis of the five-nucleon system are included. (AIP)
