Some General Thoughts on Two-Body Small Momentum Transfer Spectrometer Experiments at High-Energies
- Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI (United States)
I want to consider a general class of reactions of the type A + p → C + D where A could be any incoming particle and C and D are either particles or resonance states with C being the forward going particle. In the energy range from 50 - 100 GeV/c the cross section for any individual channel should be of the order of a few microbarns. Extrapolation from lower energy indicates that the reactions will be peaked forward so that a large fraction of the cross section will be in a region -t < 1 (Gev/c)2. One can envision two types of experiments which will be of theoretical interest. One is the measurement of angular distributions (and polarization in some cases) as a function of energy for individual channels. Another would be to measure C summing over all or a certain class of states of particle D. I will not consider elastic scattering explicitly although spectrometer parameters will be pertinent to elastic scattering as well as inelastic processes.
