Measurement of A and A/sub nn/ in p + p. -->. p + p at 6 GeV/c

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6359765
Previous measurements of the 6 GeV/c p - p elastic scattering rates have been extended with beam and target polarizations normal to the scattering plane. Improvements to the measuring technique include additional momentum resolution added to the recoil arm and increased solid angle resulting from two-element hodoscopes. Beam intensity was increased by a factor of 3 and additional shielding was installed. Along with the usual statistical uncertainty and errors in measurement of the target polarization, a term was added in quadrature due to a systematic difference between target and beam asymmetries (A/sub T/ and A/sub B/).
