Polarized proton-proton bremsstrahlung

The cross section and analyzing power for proton-proton bremsstrahlung have been measured at TRIUMF with a 280-MeV polarized proton beam, impinging on a liquid hydrogen target. Both outgoing protons and the outgoing photon were detected in coincidence. A magnetic spectrometer consisting of a dipole and four drift chambers measured the production angle, point of origin in the target, and momentum of one of the outgoing protons. After appropriate cuts were applied, over 160X0 pp..gamma.. events remained, a factor of 20 more than in any previous pp..gamma.. experiment, with a background of only a few percent. We report here on the analyzing-power measurements, which are in good agreement with calculations based on modern potential models of the NN interaction, but which disagree with the predictions of the soft-photon approximation.
