Effects of the triton D state in (d, t) reactions

Measurements of the tensor analyzing powers for (d,t) reactions on $sup 118$Sn and $sup 208$Pb are presented. It is shown that the measured quantities are sensitive to the D-state components in the triton wave function. The magnitudes of the observed analyzing powers are in good agreement with predictions obtained from a triton D-state wave function calculated in first- order perturbation theory. (AIP)
