2H+D REACTION AT LOW ENERGIES

It is shown that in the angular distributions of the2H(d, p)3H (using polarized and unpolarized deuterons) and likewise in the neutron polarization of the mirror reaction2H(d, n)3He the resonance found at Ed≈105 keV can be understood as a threshold resonance. From the experimental data J)π=2(+), T=0 is derived for spin, parity and isospin of the resonance. Additionally it is found, that the resonant part of the reaction has a small coupling matrix element, linking the2H+d channel with the3H+p and3He+n channels. © 1969 Springer-Verlag.
