Measurements of the spin-correlation parametersA00kk,A00ks, andA00ssinp−pelastic scattering between 400 and 600 MeV

Abstract
We have measured the spin-correlation parameters A00kk, A00ks, and A00ss in pp scattering between 400 and 600 MeV using a longitudinally polarized beam and a butanol target polarized in the horizontal plane. Owing to the restrictive geometrical acceptance of the target, the polarization axis of the target was oriented at an angle α with respect to beam direction. The parameters A00kk and A00ks were therefore measured as a linear combination at 577, 536, 514, 494, and 445 MeV. These experiments were extended to the measurement of A00ks and A00ss by using a transversely polarized beam. We present the results, which are compared with phase-shift predictions.
