Angular distributions of the tensor analyzing powers A"and A -A» for the reactions H(d, p) H and H(d, n) He are presented at deuteron energies of 25, 40, 60, and 80 keV. The analyzing powers for the two reaction channels are quite similar at these energies. The data have been included in an R-matrix analysis of the four nucleon system. According to this analysis, transitions from entrance-channel quintet-S states are important in these reactions, so that the use of polarized fuels would not result in a neutron-lean fusion reaction.PACS number(s): 21.45.+v, 24.70.+s, 25.10.+s, 25.45.z
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
