Double N-N scattering on polarized proton target

The triple scattering depolarization transfer parameterD _t in elastic p-p scattering was measured at an energy of 660 MeV using a polarzied proton target. All measurements have been carried out with the help of an optical spark chamber.The following results have been obtained:D _t (90)=D(90)=0·54±0·10.D _t (130)=D(130)=0·72±0·11.Devoted to Professor V. Petrílka on his sixty-fifth birthday.On leave of absence from theInstitute for Computing Technique of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Prague.On leave of absence from theNuclear Research Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, e.On leave of absence from theFaculty of Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering of the Technical University, Prague.In conclusion the authors express their deep gratitude to S.
