Energy Dependence of the Spin-Spin Correlation ParameterCLL=(L, L;0, 0)inppElastic Scattering aroundθc.m.=90°

Abstract
We have measured the spin-spin correlation parameter CLL=(L, L;0, 0) in pp elastic scattering around θc.m.=90° from plab=1.0 to 3.0 GeV/c. We observe a rapid energy dependence in CLL and describe our interpretation of the results.
