Abstract:A phase-shift analysis of the proton-proton scattering data of Worthington, McGruer, and Findley has been carried out in an attempt to find fits which also lead to polarization of non-negligible size. Such fits, having P-wave phase shifts separated in spin-orbit order with first Born approximation spin-orbit splittings, have been found, giving a polarization as large as 4%. Phase shifts for L<2 have been included, with those for higher values of X, / put equal to zero.
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.
