We calculate the cross section for polarized-proton-nucleus non-spin-flip ({up arrow}{up arrow}) and spin-flip ({down arrow}{up arrow}) inelastic scattering where the polarization is perpendicular to the scattering plane. This cross section is compared with that of unpolarized-electron-nucleus scattering. We note that, in the plane-wave impulse approximation, the non-spin-flip squared form factor is essentially the same, apart from a factor of {ital q}{sup 2}, as one obtained in {ital unpolarized}-electron-nucleus scattering in which only the spin terms are kept and the convection terms dropped. But the spin-flip squared form factor is different.
