Proton Polarization in (d, p) Reactions

Abstract

The polarization of the proton produced in a ($d, p$) reaction is calculated under the assumption that "stripping" is the primary mechanism operative. The model adopted for the polarization production consists in a proton-nucleus interaction potential of the spin-orbit type which has been successful in describing polarization effects in neutron scattering. The model is applied to the specific reaction ${\mathrm{C}}^{12}(d, p){\mathrm{C}}^{13}$ for $E_d=3.29\mathrm{}$ Mev.
