Abstract
The polarization of the deuterons from the reaction was investigated at two angles, 30° and 90°, at an incident proton energy of 3 Mev. The deuteron polarization was measured by utilizing the asymmetry of the protons from the reaction. The asymmetries were corrected for the finite geometry of the experiment. The analysis of the polarization from this data was performed employing a restricted set of interactions, and in this specific case the deuteron polarization was found to be + (11±5)% at 30°, and +(6+3)% at 90°. The sign of the polarization is in agreement with the semiclassical model, and the magnitude is less than the theoretical upper limit of 33%.
