The Scattering of 29 MeV $^3$He-Particles by $^1$H, $^2$H, $^3$He and $^4$He Nuclei

Angular distributions for the scattering of 29 MeV $^3$He-particles by light nuclei have been observed using a photographic plate method. Absolute differential cross-sections for elastic scattering, and for inelastic processes for $^2$H, $^3$He and $^4$He nuclei, are given within the centre-of-mass angular range 20 to 150$^\circ$. The elastic scattering distributions for the $^1$H and $^3$He nuclei have been compared with predictions based on resonating group theory.
