New, large-momentum-transfer 0.8 GeV p+/sup 208/Pb elastic analyzing power data are presented and compared to optical model predictions using the Kerman-McManus-Thaler microscopic optical potential. This comparison provides an important test of multiple scattering theories since the predictions are quite sensitive to the assumed nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitudes and are not sensitive to the details of the nuclear densities. We show that improvement in the agreement between experiment and a parameter-free theoretical prediction is obtained when the calculation includes the electromagnetic spin-orbit potential which arises from the coupling of the projectile proton's magnetic moment and the Coulomb field of the target nucleus. The sensitivity of the predicted analyzing power to the various ingredients of the theory is also investigated, and the importance of the inclusion of target-nucleon correlations (in the second-order Kerman-McManus-Thaler potential) for proper explanation of the data is discussed.
