(/sup 3/He, t) reaction at intermediate energies

Data are presented for the (/sup 3/He, t) reaction at energies of 600 MeV, 1.2 GeV, and 2 GeV on targets /sup nat/C, /sup 54/Fe, and /sup 89/Y. The low--excitation-energy regions of the spectra are dominated by isospin-spin excitations. Cross-section calculations in distorted-wave impulse approximation with parameters from NN data account reasonably well for the data. At 2-GeV bombarding energy a strong excitation of the ..delta.. resonance is observed for all targets.
