Measurement of spin parameters for a decisive clarification of the structure observed in the p-p system

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Recent data are presented on spin-spin correlation parameters C/sub L/L = (L,L;0,0) and C/sub S/L = (S,L;0,0) at forward angles from 1.18 to 2.47 GeV/c incident momenta in proton-proton elastic scattering. Values for ..delta..sigma/sub L/ (inelastic) are derived and are shown to disagree with predictions of theoretical models attempting to describe p-p scattering without dibaryon resonances. Finally, the C/sub L/L and C/sub S/L data discriminate among various phase-shift solutions, and will lead to a clarification of the p-p phase shifts.
