We report measured asymmetries as a function of polar scattering angle for the reactions pp-~ir~Tr + tmd'pp-*pp 9 using a polarized proton target. The annihilation data, obtained at a J momentum of 1.64 GeV/c, are the first asymmetry data to be collected for this channel. A fit of these data and published differential cross section data is made by a partial-wave expansion, and the results are compared with a previous analysis. The elastic scattering data, obtained at 1.64 and 2.55 GeV/c, are fitted with an eight-parameter strong-absorption model.Using antiprotons incident on a lanthanum-magnesium-nit rate-type polarized proton target, 1 we have studied the reactions pp-+ir~ir + and pp -*PP-Specifically, we have measured the asymmetry in the differential cross sections for these reactions between proton polarization normal to, and antinormal to, the scattering plane, 2
A = dG/dQfi + da/d&aOur annihilation data were obtained with an incident p momentum of 1.64 GeV/c and provide the first asymmetry measurements for this reaction. Previous studies of the reaction/>/> ^ir~7r + in this momentum range have been measurements of the differential cross sections in two low-statistics bubble-chamber experiments, 3 measurements of do/d£2 for \cosO ir -c ' m '\ ^ 0.96 in a counter experiment, 4 and measurements of the folded differential cross sections in two counter experiments, 4,5 where only Icos^f 00 " 1 *! was determined. A partial-wave analysis, 4 performed using the counter data, showed a possible boson resonance with angular momentum J-5 and mass vn R -2.29 GeV (P lab = 1.60 GeV/c). This analysis, which was limited by the lack of complete angular distributions, was dominated by resonant J= 3 and J= 5 partial waves while J= 1, 2, and 3 partial waves were included as background.Our elastic-scattering data were obtained at beam momenta of 1.64 and 2.55 GeV/c and complement published results of asymmetry measurements. 6 In analyzing these data we have used a diffraction model 6 with eight parameters and, in contrast to earlier analyses, have included totalcross-section measurements 7 in the fits.The experiment was performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory alternating gradient synchrotron in conjunction with a previously reported K + p elastic-scattering asymmetry measurement. 8 The experimental apparatus was essentially unchanged with the exception of the beam particle identification counters.
