Abstract:
Data for the analyzing power Ay() for the elastic scattering of neutrons from deuterons have been measured at 14.1 MeV for the range from 30°to 153°(c.m.) to accuracies between 0.003 and 0.006. The results are compared to previous n-d data at 14 MeV and are in significant disagreement with the most recent measurement. The present data are in excellent agreement with a Faddeev calculation by Doleschall. The data are also very similar to p-d scattering data at 14.1 MeV, although systematic deviations are observed at forward angles and near the maximum of Ay() at 130°. Recent calculations indicate that Coulomb effects can explain most of these differences, although some features will require further investigation.
