The vector analyzing power has been measured for the elastic scattering of neutron-rich {sup 6}He from polarized protons at 71 MeV/nucleon making use of a newly constructed solid polarized proton target operated in a low magnetic field and at high temperature. Two approaches based on local one-body potentials were applied to investigate the spin-orbit interaction between a proton and a {sup 6}He nucleus. An optical model analysis revealed that the spin-orbit potential for {sup 6}He is characterized by a shallow and long-ranged shape compared with the global systematics of stable nuclei. A semimicroscopic analysis with an {alpha}+n+n cluster folding model suggests that the interaction between a proton and the {alpha} core is essentially important in describing the p+{sup 6}He elastic scattering. The data are also compared with fully microscopic analyses using nonlocal optical potentials based on nucleon-nucleon g matrices.
