“…In the above expression, o "(k',k) is the center-of-mass differential cross section for deuterons having spin projections m and n on the quantization axis colliding with relative momentum k to form reaction products with relative momentum k', the magnitudes of k and k' being related by energy conservation. Our data are consistent with previous conclusions, first reported in [31] and [32] and more recently in [14,8,11,33] that polarizing the nuclei spin parallel in a fusion reactor will not strongly suppress the neutron or triton yield &om the H+ H reactions. A"and A -A"" for the reactions H(d, p) H and H(d, n) He have been measured at incident deuteron energies of 25, 40, 60, and 80 keV.…”
