Measurements of two- and three-spin parameters at 6 GeV/c using a transversely polarized beam and target

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
Toward the goal of experimentally determining pp elastic scattering amplitudes at 6 GeV/c, we have measured a linear combination of triple-spin correlation parameters and also a linear combination of spin-transfer parameters over the vertical-bart vertical-bar range between 0.2 and 1.0 (GeV/c)/sup 2/. A horizontally polarized beam (S direction) was obtained by precessing the spin of the polarized beam from the Argonne Zero Gradient Synchrotron using a superconducting solenoid. The target protons were polarized vertically (N direction) and the polarization of the recoil protons was measured with a carbon polarimeter. The results are consistent with the amplitude corresponding to ..pi.. exchange being almost real and positive.
