Study of the reaction p/sub up-arrow/p. -->. p. pi. /sup +/n with polarized beam from 3 to 12 GeV/c

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
We present density-matrix elements and single-spin correlations for the reaction p/sub up-arrow/p..-->..p..pi../sup +/n at 3, 4, 6, and 11.75 GeV/c, using both longitudinal and transverse beam polarizations. For small momentum transfers, the spin correlations are mainly due to off-shell ..pi../sup +/p elastic scattering, while for larger t-italic there are large polarization effects associated with the production dynamics for p/sub up-arrow/p..--> delta../sup ++/n. Comparison of longitudinal and transverse polarization correlations suggests that the ..delta../sup ++/-production spin effects are due mainly to unnatural-parity exchanges. We present a model-dependent amplitude analysis, and extract the energy dependence of the natural- and unnatural-parity-exchange contributions.
