We have measured the spin-transfer parameters K«, KsL, KLs, and Kss at 788 MeV from 47 to 177' c.m. , and also uncovered a 10 -16 /o normalization discrepancy which affects all previous np elastic spin data from LAMPF. Results disagree significantly from previous phase-shift predictions. With the inclusion of these new data the NN phase shifts and amplitudes (isospin 0 and 1) become well determined for the first time near 800 MeV.
Measurements of the spin-transfer parameter Kr, r, for H(p, n)2p at 0' to calibrate the neutronbeam polarization clarify a normalization discrepancy affecting np data at LAMPF. The new data are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
We have measured the spin-transfer parameters E~I., E~l., Al. p, and Egg at 635 MeV from 50' to 178' c.m. and at 485 MeV from 74' to 176' c.m. These new data have a significant impact on the phase-shift analyses. There are now sufticient data near these energies to overdetermine the elastic nucleon-nucleon amplitudes.PACS number(s): 21.30. +y, 13.75.Cs, 24.70.+s
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
