Helicity conservation in the reaction π − p → pA 1 at 4.45 GeV/ c has been studied using 50 cm and 55 cm liquid hydrogen bubble chambers. In the Jackson and the helicity frames the dependence of the ϱ matrix elements on the four-momentum transfer squared to the proton ( t ) for A 1 maximum decay has been calculated. The obtained data are in a good agreement with t -channel helicity conservation. The t -channel dependence of the ϱ matrix elements in the mentioned frames is in good agreement with that calculated using the Regge π-pole exchange model (it is suggested that the A 1 maximum nature is explained by a kinematical effect of the Deck type).
