Simultaneous measurement of 2 and 3 spins in proton proton elastic scattering at 6 GeVc

The elastic cross section for proton proton scattering at 6 $\text{GeV}\text{c}$ was measured using a 70% polarized beam and a 75% polarized target at the Argonne ZGS. In the range $\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{\perp }}{}^2\text{= 0.5 → 2.0(}\text{GeV}\text{c}\text{)}{}^2$ we obtained small error measurements for the ↑↑, ↓↓ and ↑↓ initial spin states perpendicular to the scattering plane. At P_⊥² = 0.5 we also measured the recoil spin and found that the 5 different cross sections were very unequal.     

Semi-inclusive lambda and K(S) production in p-Au collisions at 17.5 GeV/c

The first detailed measurements of the centrality dependence of strangeness production in p-A collisions are presented. Lambda and K(S) dn/dy distributions from 17.5 GeV/ c p-Au collisions are shown as a function of "grey" track multiplicity and the estimated number of collisions, nu, made by the proton. The nu dependence of the Lambda yield deviates from a scaling of p-p data by the number of participants, increasing faster than this scaling for nu相似文献   

Measurement of proton proton elastic scattering in pure initial spin states at 11.75 GeV/c

The elastic cross section for proton proton scattering at 11.75 GeV/c was measured at the Argonne ZGS using a 50% polarized target. In the range p_⊥²=0.6 → 2.2 (GeV/c)² we obtained precise measurements of $\text{d}\text{σ}\text{d}\text{t(ij)}$ for the ? ?, and ? initial spin states perpendicular to the scattering plane. We confirmed that the asymmetry parameter, A, decreases with energy in the diffraction peak, but is approximately energy-independent at large p_⊥². We found that the spin correlation parameter c_nn acquires rather dramatic structure, and at large p_⊥² seems to grow with energy.
