Abstract
TRIUMF experiment E497 is a study of parity violation in pp scattering at a n energy where the leading term in the analyzing power is expected to vanis h, thus measuring a unique combination of weak-interaction flavor-conservin g terms. It is desired to reach a level of sensitivity of 2 x 10(-8) in bot h statistical and systematic errors. The leading systematic errors depend o n transverse polarization components and, at least, the first moment of tra nsverse polarization. A novel polarimeter that measures profiles of both tr ansverse components of polarization as a function of position is described. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
