The energy dependence of the analyzing power A y for the pp → π + d reaction was measured during polarized beam acceleration from 500 to 800 MeV, using an internal target inserted into the beam every acceleration cycle. The measurements were made with the pion laboratory angle fixed at 68° and with incident proton energy bins varying from 10 to 30 MeV in width. The statistical accuracy per bin is ΔA y ⋍ 0.06 .
Statistical errors onnly.
Polarizationdata for the reaction pp → π + d on polarized protons at 1.04, 1.13, 1.21, 1.37 and 1.45 GeV/ c are presented. The coefficient characterizing the angular distribution of the polarization show an energy dependence similar to that of the total cross-section and are consistent with the view that N ∗ ( 3 2 , 3 2 ) production dominates the reaction mechanism.
