Polarization observables and spin-aligned fusion rates in 2H(d,p)3H and 2H(d,n)3He reactions

Abstract

Nucleon transfer reactions in low-energy deuteron-deuteron scattering are described by solving exact four-particle equations in momentum space. The Coulomb interaction between the protons is included using the screening and renormalization method. Various realistic potentials are used between nucleon pairs. The energy dependence of the differential cross section, analyzing powers, polarizations, spin-transfer coefficient, and the quintet suppression factor is studied.
