Abstract

Measurement of polarization in pp elastic scattering in the Coulomb interference region is considered as a valid method for calibrating high energy polarized proton beams. Possibility of using a scintillation target to detect low energy recoil protons in this |t| region has been studied by using a 4 GeV/c π- beam from CERN PS. The results obtained with a stack of thin plastic scintillators, each 1 mm thick, showed the feasibility of detecting recoil protons in a |t| range as low as ~5×10-3 (GeV/c)2.
