Abstract

The transverse polarization transfer coefficient $K_{y}^{y^{'}}$ has been measured for the $^{2} H (\vec{d}, \vec{n})^{3} He$ reaction at 0° for deuteron energies around 13 MeV, using a purely vector-polarized deuteron beam. At $0.666 \pm 0.013,$ $K_{y}^{y^{'}} (0 °)$ was found to be significantly larger than the values used frequently in the past to deduce the neutron polarization from the polarization of the deuteron beam.
