Measurement of polarization transfer and the tensor analyzing power in polarized deuteron break-up with deuteron momenta up to 9 GeV/c

Abstract New experimental results for polarization transfer, κ 0 and the analyzing power, T 20 , in 12 C ( d , p ) X at 0° are present. The measurements have been performed at the Dubna polarized deuteron facility. At high intrinsic momenta of the proton in the deuteron ( k ⩾300 MeV/ c ) the behaviour of these observables is in disagreement with the impulse approximation predictions based on realistic NN-potentials. The data are compared with calculations of some other models predicting the high k behaviour of κ 0 and T 20 .
