Abstract

A new scintillation-track-image detector, SCITIC, has been developed and successfully used as an active target for hyperon-scattering experiments. The principle and practical use in experiments of SCITIC have bean reported. In this paper, we present the results of a reanalysis of SCITIC data by a new method. The new method assures more precise three-dimensional (3D) track reconstruction than before by introducing a way of critically checking and an iterating data processing. After a brief presentation of the experimental setup and procedure of data taking, details of the image analysis are discussed. With the new analysis, the precision of the data for the Σ+p scattering experiment was improved leading to the conclusion that the Σ+p spin–orbit interaction is comparable to the NN interaction, and that the angular dependence of analyzing power is in good agreement with a theoretical prediction.
