Title: Corrections to the elastic proton-proton analyzing power parametrization at high energies

Abstract

The Polarized Atomic Hydrogen Gas Jet Target polarimeter (HJET) was designed to measure the absolute polarization of the proton beams at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In these measurements, the small scattering angle elastic pp single A N (t) and double A N N (t) spin analyzing powers can be precisely determined. The experimental accuracy achieved at HJET requires corrections to the A N (t) parametrization, conventionally used for such studies. In this paper, we evaluate the corrections to the analyzing powers due to (i) the differences between the electromagnetic and hadronic form factors and (ii) the m p 2 /s terms in the elastic spin-flip pp electromagnetic amplitude. The corresponding alterations of the evaluated hadronic spin-flip amplitudes are about the same as the experimental uncertainties of the HJET measurements. The proposed corrections may have implications for the elastic pp forward real-to-imaginary amplitude ratios ρ determined in unpolarized pp experiments.
