A theoretical analysis of the Be9(pd)Be8 reaction at a proton energy of 333kev assuming compound nucleus formation of a 1- state in B10 predicts that if protons are unpolarised the deuterons have zero vector but maximum possible tensor polarisation i.e. the magnetic substate population ration is 1:0:1 and Pzz =1. furthermore it predicts that both the polarization and the angular distribution of these deutrerons are isotropic. The polarization of these deuterons emitted at 30 in the lab. has been measured by allowing them to initiate the reaction He3 (dp)He4 at 430 kev and determining the angular distribution of the resulting protons. / Note: parts of this thesis have since been published in Nuclear Physics A 95 663-673 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0375-9474(67)90859-7
