Measurement of the pC analyzing power in the momentum range 1.35–2.02 GeV/c

The paper presents the experimental results on measurements of carbon analyzing power for polarized protons at momenta 1.36, 1.60, 1.78, 2.02 GeV/c and the carbon thickness 4.9, 19.4, 36.5 g/cm2. The data shows that the analyzing power does not depend on the thickness in the interval 19–36 g/cm2. The results of this experiment for carbon thickness 19.4 and 36.5 g/cm2 together with the Saclay data were used for parametrization over the momentum and the scattering angle. Proton polarization in the quasielastic scattering on carbon at 10.5° was also measured. The experiment was completed at the ITEP accelerator.
