Spin-transfer measurements of the [Formula Presented] reaction at energies spanning the [Formula Presented] resonance

Abstract

The first spin-transfer experiment performed for the [Formula Presented] reaction is described. Three spin-transfer parameters for this [Formula Presented]-absorption process were determined, [Formula Presented], [Formula Presented], and [Formula Presented], which correspond to the π-production parameters, [Formula Presented], [Formula Presented], and [Formula Presented], of the time-reversed [Formula Presented] process. Each observable was measured at a single angle for a number of energies spanning the [Formula Presented] resonance of this system. The results are compared with the predictions of published partial wave amplitude fits which are primarily based on existing data for the time-r..
