We present here the results of an experiment to study the polarization in p-p elastic scattering at the incident momenta 5.15, 7.00, and 12.33 GeV/c, at t values ranging between -0.5 and -6.5 (GeV/c) 2 . At each momentum we observe a relative maximum in the polarization around t = -1.8 (GeV/c) 2 . At 12.33 GeV/c the data exhibit a double zero near t = -2.4 (GeV/c) 2 and another relative maximum near t = -2.9 (GeV/c) 2 . The results are discussed in terms of the Chu-Hendry optical model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
