Differential cross sections and analyzing powers for pp elastic scattering at 1. 46 GeV/c in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Differential cross sections sigma(theta) and analyzing powers A(theta) for pp elastic scattering have been measured in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region at 800 MeV. The measurements, which extend down to 0.5 deg in the laboratory, have been analyzed to deduce the zero-degree pp scattering amplitudes. The ratio rho of the real to imaginary parts of the spin-independent amplitude was found to be -0.04 +- 0.04; the contribution of the double-spin-flip amplitudes to sigma(0) was found to be 0.16 +- 0.03 times that of the spin-independent amplitude; while the ratios of the imaginary and real parts of the single spin-flip amplitude to sintheta were found to be 0.74 +- 0.04 and -0.03 +- 0.08 fm, respectively. Except for the last, these experimental values agree with the predictions of forward dispersion relations and phase shift analyses.
