Abe, K

The elastic differential cross section for proton proton scattering at 11.75 GeV/c was measured for the up, down, and mixed initial spin states perpendicular to the scattering plane in the range of p/sup 2//sub perpendicular to/ = 0.6 ..-->.. 2.2 (GeV/c)/sup 2/. The experiment was performed at the Argonne ZGS using a 50 percent polarized beam and a 65 percent polarized target. It was confirmed that the asymmetry parameter, A, decreases with energy in the diffraction peak, but is approximately energy-independent at large p/sup 2//sub perpendicular to/. It was found that the spin correlation parameter C/sub nn/ acquires rather dramatic structure, and at large p/sup 2//sub perpendicular to/ seems to grow with energy.
