  1. Forward Collisionsand Spin Effects in Evaluating Amplitudes N. Akchurin, Texas Tech University, USA N. Buttimore, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland A. Penzo, INFN & Università di Trieste, Italy

  2. Introduction • Polarized proton collisions probe dependence on spin • Analyticity relates low and high energy helicity amplitudes • Hadronic spin effects are enhanced by photon exchange interference • Study forward spin dependence for cross section normalisation N Buttimore / Akchurin

  3. Peripheral Proton and Ion Collisions Hadronic spin dependence is important for • Parton distribution functions and nucleon form factors • Measuring the proton beam polarization at BNL RHIC, Makdisi, AIP Conf Proc 980 • Spin dependent couplings of the Pomeron, Trueman, Phys Rev D77 N. Buttimore, SPIN2010 Jülich

  4. Analyzing Power in CNI Region Analyses assume double-flip amplitudes are zero Interference value tc= 8pa /stot Hadronicslope B Bethe phase d ≈ 0.02 Real-to-imaginary r≈ 0.02 Proton mass mand anomalous momentk= 1.7928 N. Buttimore, SPIN2010 Julich

  8. Proton Carbon Small Angle Asymmetry Advantages of using spinlessisosingletions in the case of elastic proton carbon scattering • Only isoscalart-channel exchanges are permitted • Spin zero carbon limits types of gluon exchanges • Pomeron contribution differs from the proton caseproviding more insight into high energy dynamicsKopeliovich and Trueman, Phys Rev D 64 (2001) N. Buttimore, SPIN2010 Julich

  9. Conclusions • All available small –tdata suggest that hadronicspin flip is small • It has magnitude |r5|= 0.059 ± 0.008 and phase q5= 94.1 ± 1.6 degrees • Only statistical experimental errors are considered in this analysis. The systematic errors need to be included especially when they are comparable or larger • pp data at 6.8 GeV suggest sizable hadronic spin flip… • Systematic errors in pC data need study as the fourth quadrant spin-flip phase is very different from the second quadrant pp phase • more accurate pC asymmetry data; the RHIC polarimeter upgradeshould assist this enterprise. … N. Buttimore, SPIN2010 Jülich

  17. Bad Contours… • I am having trouble with the contours of magnitude and phase angle plots for pC fits (Jinn below). They look wrong. Notice that theta scan gives two minima (~-20 and ~40 degrees)… Why? Need to think a little bit… N. Buttimore, SPIN2010 Julich

  18. Analyzing Power in CNI Region • For the current analyses, we assume double-flip amplitude is zero • The Coulomb phase is 0.02 • The rho parameter is 0.02 N. Buttimore, SPIN2010 Jülich
