A set of spin dependent parameters and cross sections has been measured for p vector-/sup 3/He elastic scattering over the range of q 0.7-4.2 fm/sup -1/. The experiment was done at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) using the High Resolution Spectrometer (HRS) with a polarized proton beam at 0.8 GeV. The focal plane polarimeter of the HRS was used to determine the spin direction of the scattered proton. Since /sup 3/He is one of the simplest nuclei, p vector-/sup 3/He scattering provides a very sensitive test of multiple scattering theories. The theoretical analysis was done by using two different wave functions for /sup 3/He as input to the multiple scattering theory. The theoretical calculations and experimental data together give useful information about nucleon-nucleon amplitudes and also help obtain a better understanding of the scattering process.
