1. Introduction

We report results of the np elastic-scattering analyzing power at 0.312, 0.363, 0.800, 0.840, 0.860, 0.877, 0.880, 0.910, 0.940, 1.00, 1.08 and 1.10 GeV. These results are a part of a systematic study of the nucleon-nucleon system in the energy range of SATURNE II. For the present data we assume isospin invariance implying the equality of the beam analyzing power A,,,, and the target analyzing

power A OOOn for np elastic scattering. Part of the data at 0.477, 0.88, 0.91 and 0.94 GeV, where A,,, and A,_,, were determined separately, was already treated in ref. [l]. All measurements were performed at SATURNE II with a polarized beam of free quasi-monochromatic neutrons scattered either on the Saclay frozen-spin proton target (PPT) or on a CH, target. The beam and target polarizations were oriented vertically. In the same experiment the spin correlation parameter A.,,,,“, the depolarization D,,,, and the polarization transfer K,,,, were measured also. These data will be reported in a forthcoming paper. Most of the data were taken simultaneously with transmission measurement of the total cross-section difference Aa, (ref. [2]). The present results are compared with other np elastic-scatter- ing data [3-71, and with pn or np quasielastic data [8-121. Our results at 0.88, 0.91 and 0.94 GeV are in excellent agreement with previous A..“. and A.,,,,” data at the same energies [l], but the large amount of measured data points does not allow one to show all data points in the same figures.

Throughout this paper we use the nucleon-nucleon formalism and the four-spin notation developed in ref. [131.

2. Polarized beam and target

Polarized neutrons are produced by break-up of vector-polarized deuterons on a Be target. This production target was 10 cm thick at 0.312 and 0.363 GeV and 20 cm thick at the other energies. The break-up protons are swept into a beam dump. The vertically polarized neutron beam is defined by a total of 8 meters of collimators inserted in the 17.5 m long neutron beam line. At the polarized target the beam spot was either 20 mm or 30 mm in diameter. The neutron beam has a momentum spread due to deuteron absorption in the production target and to the Fermi motion of neutrons in deuterons. The momentum spread is of the order of f20 MeV. The polarized deuteron beam with (2-3) x 10” deuterons/spill pro- duces - (6-8) x 10’ neutrons/spill at the PPT. The neutron beam intensity was monitored by a scintillation counter array inserted in the beam in front of the polarized target [21.

J. Ball et al. / Angular dependence (II) 491

The deuteron beam polarization was flipped every burst of the accelerator by a change of the RF transitions in the ion source. The polarization of break-up neutrons was determined by a measurement of the np elastic-scattering asyrnme- tries &n = PBAoono and &n = PTA,,_ (ref. [l]). Using the known target polariza-

tion P, and assuming Aoono = A,,, we obtain P, = 0.59, independent of the neutron beam energy [1,14]. At each energy the polarization of the protons in the accelerated deuterons was also checked by the beam polarimeter [13].

The PPT was 35 mm thick, 40 mm wide and 49 mm high [16]. The target material was pentanol, with a typical proton polarization of 85%. The target polarization is held in a vertical magnetic field of - 0.33 T produced by a vertical super-conducting holding coil. The target polarization was inverted every few hours.

3. Experimental set-up and data analysis

The apparatus is designed for pp, np and pn elastic-scattering experiments in a large angular domain. It allows one to measure the angular dependence of several spin observables simultaneously. The experimental set-up is described in ref. [14]. Outgoing particles are detected by a two-arm spectrometer which contains single scintillation counters, counter hodoscopes, the neutron counter (NC) hodoscope with its VETO, analyzing magnet and eight multiwire proportional chambers, each having three wire planes.

The NC hodoscope [14,17] consists of 15 scintillating bars and measures a particle position from the time difference between signals from the two PM’s on either side of a bar, with a precision of 525 mm. Veto counters in front of the neutron counter hodoscope distinguish between neutral and charged particles.

The neutrons scattered at backward c.m. angles may be converted into charged particles in a carbon plate. These particles are subsequently detected in scintilla- tion counters and their coordinates are determined by hits in two MWPC’s that follow the carbon plate.

The NC hodoscope efficiency is N 15-20% whereas the efficiency for detecting np elastic scattering in the backward hemisphere by charge-exchange reactions on carbon is about 1.5%. For this reason the backward-scattering data have consider- ably larger errors.

In order to monitor correctly measurements with two opposite target polariza- tion directions, a polyethylene “CH*” target 3 to 10 nm thick was positioned downstream from the PPT and viewed by a dedicated scintillation counter. Particles scattered either on the PPT or on the CH, target produce independent triggers, but their tracks are detected in the same MWPC’s. The number of these events is independent of the target polarization and is used as a normalization of data with opposite target polarization.

Page 4: Angular dependence of analyzing power in np elastic scattering between 0.312 and 1.10 GeV

492 J. Ball et al. / Angular dependence (II)

The triggers and fast electronics are described in ref. [141. Candidates for np elastic-scattering events are determined and recognized by three different pretrig- gers. Any pretrigger has to be validated by the NC and its VETO logic. The following pretriggers are used:

(1) Forward neutron, backward proton, np scattering in the PPT: pretrigger TND.

(2) Forward neutron, backward proton, np scattering in the CH, target: pretrig- ger MND.

(3) Forward proton, backward neutron from both targets - pretrigger TNG (which of the target is hit is distinguished in the OFF-LINE analysis).

The sum of pretriggers enter in the NC logic, which determine charged or neutral NC events, and give the master trigger. This trigger gives an event interrupt NIM signal to the CAC module (based on the Motorola 68000 micropro- cessor) and to the on-line computer. The CAC module starts the acquisition procedure of MWPC’c and TDC’s and the information from different memory units. Coincidences between the accepted master-trigger signals and delayed pretriggers determine the final kind of triggers.

The data analysis is described in detail in ref. [141. For all types of events the proton track was reconstructed from the hits in the MWPC’s. For the reconstruc- tion of the neutron trajectory, the interaction vertex in the target is assumed to be the intercept of the track of the proton, measured in the conjugate arm, with the vertical plane containing the beam axis. The second point of the forward neutron trajectory is given by the neutron position in the NC hodoscope. For the backward neutron it is determined by the intersection of the charged particle track from the neutron charge exchange in carbon with the medium plane of the carbon con- verter.

The forward particle momentum is determined by neutron or proton time-of- flight between the PPT and the NC hodoscope (all events) and from the curvature of charged particles in the spectrometer magnet (TNG events only).

The wings in the coplanarity and conjugate particle distributions were used to subtract the carbon and inelastic background in our measurements. This method could not be applied for two lowest energies at backward neutron angles (TNG events). Protons from the neutron charge-exchange reactions have small energy and their energy loss in the carbon plate and in the scintillators is too large. Consequently their tracks can be hardly detected in MWPC’s following the carbon plate. At 0.363 GeV the A..,,. analyzing power at large angles was measured for CH, and carbon targets and the normalized numbers of counts were subtracted in order to obtain the hydrogen effect. The difference of A.,,,,. for these targets is small. At 0.312 GeV the measurement was done with CH, target only. We considered that the ratio of A,,... values, measured at 0.363 GeV, is the same as for 0.312 GeV and can be used for a small correction of the analyzing power at this energy.

4. Results and discussion

The general expression for the differential cross section of elastic scattering with polarized beam and polarized target is given in ref. [13]. For measurements with beam and target polarizations (Pn and P,, respectively) oriented vertically,

the general formula in ref. [131 reduces to

where (+ = (da/do) is the differential cross section, cp is the angle between the reaction plane and the laboratory horizontal plane, A.,,,, A,,, and A.... are measured observables. The beam polarization value I P, I is practically indepen- dent of its direction whereas the absolute values of the target polarizations differ. The four different combinations of the beam and target polarizations allow the determination of the two analyzing powers and the spin correlation parameter A oonn. Angular dependences of the beam and target analyzing powers, determined separately in ref. [l], show that A.,,.. and Aooon coincide within experimental

errors. This is in agreement with isospin invariance conservation for np scattering which implies Aoono = A.,,,,,,. This equality was imposed on the present results.

The polarized neutron beam was used for all measurements. Using the CH, target, the terms containing P, in eq. (1) drop out and only A,,..,, may be measured.

The data at 12 energies are listed in tables 1-16. In tables 1-12 are listed the results obtained with the main target, polarized or unpolarized. Tables 13-16 contain the A,,,, results at 0.84, 0.86, 1.00 and 1.10 GeV, obtained with the

The errors in the tables are statistical only. We estimate that an additional error due to uncontrolled instrumental effects is negligible for the present experiment. The uncertainties in the target polarization measurements are +3%. Another systematic error is due to the normalization of events with different signs of beam and target polarizations to the same integrated beam intensi~. Using the addi- tional CH, target this error was considerably reduced. Measurements at the same angle and energy were summed and the final results are listed here. From ref. 1181, where some partial results are given, it follows that data from different runs agree.

The np elastic-scattering results are shown in figs. 1-12 and compared with other existing data. OUr data measured with the main target are plotted as black dots. An unpolarized CH, main target, providing A,,,, was used at 0.312, 0.363 and 0.877 GeV (figs. 1, 2 and 6, respectiveiy). At the remaining energies (figs, 3-12) the main target was the PPT where A,,,, =Aooon was implied. Data taken with the additional CH, target and listed in tables 13-16 are shown in figs. 4, 5, 10 and 12 by open circles. The shape of the angular distribution is very similar at all energies. The slope at the zero crossing point increases with increasing energy. The data measured in different angular intervals smoothly connect in overfapping regions. Fig. 13 compares A,,, angular dependence measured with the CH, and C targets at 0.363 GeV, listed in table 17.

Fig. 1 shows the excellent agreement of our A,,, data at 0.312 GeV with the recent TRIUMF measurement [3] at 0.325 GeV. Weighted average values of the

TRIUMF A..., and A,, results are plotted as open circles. Results of the TRIUMF BASQUE group [4], aiso measured at 0.325 GeV and denoted by crosses, show a different shape of the angular dependence. Their v&es disagree with the results from ref. [3] at several angIes and the zero crossing point is at sIightIy different angIe. Fig. 2 compares our A,,, results at 0.363 GeV with LAMPF A OOOn elastic-scattering data [7] at 0.375 GeV (open circles). The LAMPF experiment (done in 1980) uses an unpolarized neutron beam scattered on a PPT. The beam had a continuous energy spectrum which allowed simultaneous mea- surements at nine energies from 0.375 to 0.775 GeV.

In fig. 3 our A_, =A,,, results at 0.800 GeV (black dots) are also compared with the LAMPF data at 0.775 GeV (open circles) from ref. [71. The A,,,, LAMPF results from ref. @I, measured in pn quasielastic scattering of a polarized proton beam on a liquid-deuterium target, are shown in fig. 3 by piusses. In the same figure, denoted by triangles, are plotted np quasielastic A..,,. =A_,, data
