Polarization observables in. pi. d-italic-arrow-right elastic scattering: Analyzing powers tau/sub 22/ and iT/sub 11/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The composite spin observable tau/sub 22/equivalent(T/sub 22/+T/sub 20// ..sqrt..6 ) has been measured at five incident pion energies between 134 and 294 MeV, in an angular range between 90/sup 0/ and 170/sup 0/, using a tensor-polarized deuterium target. New, accurate data for the vector analyzing power iT/sub 11/ were obtained at the same time. In combination with the results reported in part I of this series, our measurements allow us to determine the three analyzing powers T/sub 20/, T/sub 21/, and T/sub 22/, separately, and compare them with existing theoretical calculations, all of which fail, in one way or another, to reproduce the entire data set.
