Gw. Hoffmann et al., SPIN CORRELATION-MEASUREMENTS FOR (P)OVER-RIGHT-ARROW-RIGHT-ARROW ELASTIC-SCATTERING AT 497.5 MEV((P)OVER), Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 49(2), 1994, pp. 630-632
The spin correlation parameter A00NN for 497.5 MeV proton+proton elast
ic scattering was determined over the center-of-momentum scattering an
gle region 23.1-degrees - 64.9-degrees. The new A00NN extend to more f
orward angles than existing A00NN and have significantly smaller stati
stical errors (+/-0.01 - 0.04). The A00NN are qualitatively described
by recent phase shift analyses, but a quantitative shape and normaliza
tion discrepancy remains in the forward angle region. These new data p
rovide important constraints for nucleon-nucleon spin-dependent amplit
udes at forward angles which are used in theoretical models of nucleon
-nucleus scattering.
