A MEASUREMENT OF SPIN CORRELATION IN PROTON-PROTON SCATTERING AT 400 AND 450 MEV

Abstract

The spin correlation coefficients Cnn and CKP for proton-proton scattering at 400 and 450 Mev at 90 degrees in the center-of-mass system were measured using spark chambers containing carbon plates as the polarization analyzers. The results obtained are: Cnn(400 Mev) = 0.60 ! 0.09, CKP(400 Mev) = 0.32 ! 0.09, Cnn(450 Mev) = 0.70 ! 0.15 and CKP(450 Mev) = 0.37 ! 0.14. The results of the 400 Mev measurements are consistent with predicted values for these coefficients obtained by extrapolating the p-p phase shifts from lower energies. Phase shift extrapolations to 450 Mev are not as yet available. (Author)
