Measurement of the polarization parameter in K+p elastic scattering at 1.60, 1.80, 2.11 and 2.31 GeV/c

Abstract The polarization parameter for K + p elastic scattering has been measured at 1.60, 1.80, 2.11 and 3.31 GeV/ c incident momenta over the entire angular range with an emphasis on the backward region. The results in the extreme backward region appear to be small and consistent with zero.
