Overview of Processes Involved in Spin Transfer Collisions
- Trinity College, Dublin (Ireland)
An outline is provided of methods for polarizing antiprotons that include the possible use of channelling in a bent crystal and also the technique of scattering off leptons or protons at a suitably small angle. In the method of channelling it is suggested that the angular dependence of the analysing power of the incident particle is cubic in the angle for single scattering in the crystal when this takes place within the region of electromagnetic hadronic interference as is most likely for channelled particles. Polarization transfer in the scattering of antiprotons off leptons or protons is discussed in addition where emphasis is laid on the angular integrals over spin observables appropriate for spin filtering.
