Abstract
We report a new calibration of the polarimeter POMME for energies betw een 1.05 and 2.40 GeV using polarized proton beams at the Laboratoire National Saturne. A 16 parameter and a new 14 parameter empirical form ula have been used to fit both the angular and energy dependencies of the inclusive proton-carbon analyzing power data between 0.80 and 2.40 GeV. Both fits have very good chi-square, 1.20 per degree of freedom for the former, and 1.05 for the latter. The parameters from these fit s can be used to predict the angular distribution of the pC analyzing power at any energy within the energy range of the fits.
