Complete measurement of polarization-transfer observables for the /sup 12/C(p,p') /sup 12/C/sup */ reaction at 500 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The first complete measurement of the polarization transfer observables in the (p,p') reaction at intermediate energies is reported. Data are presented for the reaction /sup 12/C(p,p') /sup 12/C to the 1/sup +/, T = 0 (12.71-MeV) and 1/sup +/, T = 1 (15.11-MeV) states at 500 MeV for laboratory scattering angles of 3.5/sup 0/, 5.5/sup 0/, 7.5/sup 0/, and 12.0/sup 0/. Linear combinations of these observables are shown to exhibit a very selective dependence on the isoscalar and isovector spin-dependent components of the nucleon interaction.
