Measurement of 2-nd and 3-rd order vector and tensor spin observables in the reaction p(d,d)p at 1. 6 GeV deuteron beam energy
Measurements of 17 previously unmeasured vector and tensor spin observables in the d-p elastic scattering reaction are reported. Of these, seven are spin correlation observables in the momentum transfer range, 0.12 < {minus}t < 0.85 (GeV/c){sup 2} and ten are spin transfer observables in the range 0.20 < {minus}t < 0.85(GeV/c){sup 2}. The measurements were performed at Saclay in July 1985 and March 1986. The vector and tensor polarized deuteron beam of Saturne II accelerator at 1.6 GeV or 800 MeV Equivalent Proton Beam Energy (EPBE), with an average vector polarization of P{sub 0}{sup d} = 0.3 and an average tensor alignment of P{sub 0} = 0.85 in conjunction with the NN experimental area frozen polarized proton target were utilized for these measurements. A detailed description of the experimental method and the data analysis procedures are presented. The results are compared with the predictions of the standard Relativistic Impulse Approximation (RIA) and a modified version of RIA incorporating, in a phenomenological way, the three body contact interaction effects. It is shown that the standard RIA is inadequate in describing the d-p scattering process.
