Abstract
The polarisation in proton-nucleus scattering is studied within the Glauber model, in particular its sensitivity to the shapes of the input proton-nucleon amplitudes. The authors show that the polarisation is conveniently considered as a superposition of two terms. One, which is smooth, is identical to the proton-nucleon polarisation. The other, which is small, oscillates with a frequency determined by the nuclear size. Its strength depends sensitively on the shapes of the proton-nucleon amplitudes.
