Measurement of parity nonconservation in the proton-proton total cross section at 800 MeV

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6930096
A report is made of a measurement of parity nonconservation in the transmission of 800-MeV longitudinally polarized protons through an unpolarized, 1-m liquid-hydrogen target. The dependence of transmission on beam properties was studied to measure and to correct for systematic errors. The measured longitudinal asymmetry in the total cross section is A/sub L/ = (+2.4 +- 1.1 (statistical) +- 0.1 (systematic)) x 10/sup -7/. 25 refs., 2 figs.
