The angular distribution of the proton polarization has been measured between 30 ~ and 110 ~ in the CM system near 10 MeV laboratory energy. It provides a sensitive test of theoretical fits to the cross section angular distribution. The reaction mechanism is largely direct below 70 ~ and evidence has been found for a deuteron-cluster transfer.Nuclear Reactions l~N(3He, p), E=9.SMeV; measured P(E, 0), or(E, 0); DWBA and deuteron transfer analysis; deduced dominant mechanism of forward angle amplitudes.
