We measured the cross section for proton-proton elastic scattering at 11.75 GeV/c using the Zero Gradient Synchrotron 52% polarized proton beam and a 60% polarized proton target. We measured dsigma/dt (ij) in the initial spin states perpendicular to the scattering plane in the range P/sub transverse//sup 2/ = 2.0--3.6 (GeV/c)/sup 2/. We found that the asymmetry parameter A decreases smoothly with increasing P/sub transverse//sup 2/ in this range, and that the spin-spin correlation parameter C/sub n n/ may have a minimum near P/sub transverse//sup 2/ = 3 (GeV/c)/sup 2/.
