Title: Measurement of 2-nd and 3-rd order spin observables in elastic scattering of 1. 6 GeV tensor and vector polarized deuteron beam from a polarized hydrogen target

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6186959

Seven previously unmeasured spin asymmetries and ten previously unmeasured spin transfer observable have been determined in the momentum transfer range, 0.12<-t<0.85 (GeV/c)/sup 2/. We used a 1600 MeV polarized deuteron beam incident on a polarized hydrogen target in these measurements. This is equivalent to using an 800 MeV proton beam on a deuteron target. These observables are poorly predicted by the relativistic impulse approximation, which has been used successfully to reproduce spin observables for protons on spin-zero nuclei.
