Elastic and inelastic effects in proton-proton scattering from states of pure spin

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6499985

Modified phase shift analyses of pp scattering are presented at p sub b = 1.25 and 1.66 GeV/c and shown to give large negative elastic effects in delta sigma (tot) sub L. Using a combination of phase shift analyses from low energies up to 1.66 GeV/c and simple models of both elastic (pp produces pp) and inelastic (pp produces N delta) scattering it is concluded that the measured behavior of delta sigma (tot) sub L is mostly inelastic; but the large negative value of delta sigma (tot) sub L is predominantly elastic with fluctuations produced by inelastic effects. No evidence for a dibaryon resonance was found.
