Abstract

The D(d, p) reaction was used to measure the vector polarization of the deuteron beam from the atomic beam polarized ion source at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. The vector polarized deuteron beam was produced using a weak field transition. The polarization p_z of the deuteron beam was determined from the measured asymmetry and known analyzing power A_y(θ) of the D(d, p) reaction with 200 keV deuterons. The experimentally determined value of p_z was found to be -0.462±0.029 which is 69±6% of the maximum theoretical value. Within the statistical uncertainties, the measured beam polarization agrees with the value given by the manufacturer.
