POLARIZATION AND DIFFERENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS IN PROTON-PROTON AND PROTON- NUCLEUS SCATTERINGS AT 730 Mev (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4686924
S>The polarization and angular distribution of protons scattered from protons, helium, beryllium, carbon, aluminum, calcium, iron, and tantalum were measured as functions of angle at 730 Mev. A variation of the usual double- elastic-scattering method was used, in that the sense of the first scattering angle was reversed in finding asymmetries rather than the second angle. Elasticity of scattering was favored by a 102-deg magnetic spectrometer that clearly separated particles losing more than 15 Mev in scattering. The polarization in proton-proton scattering reaches a maximum of more than 60%, while polarization obtained from scattering from other nuclei remains lower. The polarized angular distribution indicates that the /sup 3/F/sub 4/ state or higher waves of odd parity must play a significant role in proton-proton scattering. The proton-nucleus scattering was fitted by an optical model. 34 references. (auth)
