Measurement of the tensor analyzing power Ayy in inclusive breakup of 9 GeV/c deuterons on carbon at large transverse momenta of protons

Abstract The tensor analyzing power A yy in inclusive breakup of 9 GeV/c deuterons on carbon has been measured at the detected proton angle of 85 mr. The analyzing power remains positive at the highest measured momentum of the proton in definite contradiction with the predictions of the existing models. The vector analyzing power A y has been obtained simultaneously with A yy .

First results on the tensor analyzing power Ayy in deuteron inclusive breakup at large transverse momenta of protons

The tensor analyzing power A yy in inclusive breakup of 9 GeV/c deuterons on carbon has been measured at 85 mrad of the detected proton angle using polarized beam of the Synchrophasotron of the Laboratory for High Energies of JINR. The analyzing power A yy remains positive at the highest measured momentum of the proton in definite contradiction with the predictions based on the standard nucleon-nucleon potentials.

New Data on Ayy in Deuteron Inclusive Breakup at Large Transverse Momenta and Relativistic Description of the Deuteron at Short Distances

Preliminary data on the tensor analyzing power A yy in breakup of 9 GeV/c deuterons on hydrogen and carbon nuclei at secondary proton transverse momenta up to ~ 900 MeV/c are presented. The results suggest that a deuteron structure function at short distances can depend on more than one independent variable unlike an ordinary wave function.

TENSOR ANALYZING POWER AYY IN DEUTERON INCLUSIVE BREAKUP AT LARGE PT AND SPIN STRUCTURE OF THE DEUTERON AT SHORT INTERNUCLEONIC DISTANCES

The Ayy data for deuteron inclusive breakup off hydrogen and carbon at a deuteron momentum of 9.0 GeV/c and large Pt of emitted protons are presented. The large values of Ayy independent of the target mass reflect the sensitivity of the data to the deuteron spin structure. The data obtained at fixed

Measurement of the Tensor Analyzing Power T20 in the Fragmentation of 9 GeV Tensor Polarized Deuterons into Cumulative Pions

Vector Ay and tensor Ayy analyzing powers of the inelastic scattering of deuterons with the momenta of 4.5 GeV/c on 9Be and 9 GeV/c on 1H and 12C at an angle of ∼80 mr in the vicinity of the excitation of baryonic resonances with masses between 1200 and 2200 MeV/c2 have been measured. The values of parameter Ay suggest that the role of the spin‐dependent part of the NN → NN* elementary processes is significant. The new Ayy data are in good agreement with the previous data at 4.5, 5.5 and 9 GeV/c, obtained at a zero angle, in an overlapping region of t. The results of the experiments are compared with the calculations within the PWIA and ω‐meson exchange model. The data obtained show that polarization observables of (d,d′) reaction in the vicinity of the excitation of baryonic resonances may be used to study their properties.

Measurement of the tensor analyzing power Ayy in the inelastic scattering of deuterons in the vicinity of excitation of baryonic resonances

The data on the tensor analyzing power Ayy in the deuteron breakup reaction on hydrogen and nuclei (9Be and 12C) obtained at 9 and 4.5 GeV/c up to proton transverse momenta of ∼900 MeV/c are presented. The data demonstrate an approximate independence on the A-value of the target, as well as on the deuteron initial momentum, when they are plotted versus variables α and pT, that describe the internal motion of nucleons in the deuteron. The results suggest that a deuteron structure function at short distances may depend on more than one independent variable unlike an ordinary wave function.

Measurement of the Tensor-Analyzing Power A yy in Deuteron Breakup at 4.5 GeV/c and 80 mr

Tensor analyzing power T 20 of the reaction d ↑ A → π–(0°)X was measured in the fragmentation of 9 GeV deuterons into pions with momenta from 3.5 to 5.3 GeV/c on hydrogen, beryllium and carbon targets. This momentum range corresponds to the region of cumulative production with the cumulative variable x c from 1.08 to 1.76. The values of T 20 were found to be small and consistent with positive values in contradiction with the predictions based on a direct mechanism assuming N N collision between a high momentum nucleon in the deuteron and a target nucleon (N N → N N π).
