Polarization in p p Elastic Scattering at Small |t|

We have measured the polarization parameter for proton-proton elastic scattering at p0 = 6 GeV/c for |t|<0.5 (GeV/c)2 using the polarized proton beam at the Argonne Zero Gradient Synchrotron. These data, together with all previous measurements in this t region, are well fitted by the empirical relation P = (0.481±0.010)(−t)12exp(2.291±0.085)t.

The Acceleration of Polarized Protons to 22-{GeV}/$c$ and the Measurement of Spin Spin Effects in $p$ (Polarized) + $p$ (Polarized) $\to p + p$

Accelerating polarized protons to 22 GeV/c at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchro- tron required both extensive hardware modifications and a difficult commissioning process. We had to overcome 45 strong depolarizing resonances to maintain polarization up to 22 GeV/c in this strong-focusing synchrotron. At 18.5 GeV/c we measured the analyzing power A and the spin-spin correlation parameter Ann in large- P⊥2 proton-proton elastic scattering, using the polarized proton beam and a polarized proton target. We also obtained a high-precision measurement of A at P⊥2=0.3 (GeV/c)2 at 13.3 GeV/c. At 18.5 GeV/c we found that Ann=(-2±16)% at P⊥2=4.7 (GeV/c)2, where it was about 60% near 12 GeV at the Argonne Zero Gradient Synchrotron. This sharp change suggests that spin-spin forces may have a strong and unexpected energy dependence at high P⊥2.

DEPOLARIZATION PARAMETER IN P P INCLUSIVE SCATTERING AT 6-GEV/C

Courant, H. ; Kagan, H. ; Makdisi, Y. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 44 (1980) 1373-1376, 1980.
Inspire Record 158285 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20737

The depolarization parameter for pp inclusive scattering at an incident momentum of 6 GeV/c was measured. The D parameter for inclusive scattering indicates the dominance of natural-parity exchange at small t, except in the case of N*(1232) production, where π exchange is more important. D for elastic scattering has also been measured. This parameter shows a small decrease from unity with increasing momentum transfer.

Polarization Analyzing Power Ay (theta) in pp Elastic Scattering at 643, 787, and 796 MeV

Bevington, P.R. ; McNaughton, M.W. ; Willard, H.B. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 41 (1978) 384-387, 1978.
Inspire Record 139918 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20830

Data have been obtained for the polarization analyzing power Ay(θ) in pp elastic scattering from near 30° to 90° (c.m.) at 643, 787, and 796 MeV. Relative uncertainties are typically ± 0.003 with an overall normalization uncertainty of {+1}{−0.5}%. Data are not consistent with existing phase-shift analyses.
