Using properties of states of quantized angular momentum, general formulae are obtained for the angular distribution in nuclear reactions and scattering processes in which the bombarding particles and target nuclei are polarized. A simple symmetrical formula for use in specific calculations is given. The following cases are considered in detail: (a) polarized bombarding particles only, (b) target nuclei polarized in a magnetic field and bombarded by polarized particles. Finally, general predictions are made concerning the polarization of particles resulting from any reaction or scattering process and the results applied to the D-D reaction which is suggested as a source of fast polarized neutrons and protons.
