1 Properties of te Spin-flip Amplitude of Hadron Elastic Scattering and Possible Polarization Effects at RHIC arxiv:ep-p/ v1 30 Oct 2002 O. V. Selyugin 1 Joint Institute for Nuclear Researc, Dubna, Russia Abstract. Wit relation to te RHIC spin program we researc te polarization effects in elastic proton-proton scattering at small momentum transfer and in te diffraction dip region. Te calculations take into account te Coulomb-adron interference effects including te additional Coulomb-adron pase. In particular we sow te impact of te form of te adron potential at large distances on te beavior of te adron spin-flip amplitude at small angles. Te t-dependence of te spin-flip amplitude of ig energy adron elastic scattering is analyzed under different assumptions on te adron interaction. I INTRODUCTION Several attempts to extract te spin-flip amplitude from te experimental data sow tat te ratio of spin-flip to spin-nonflip amplitudes can be non-negligible and may be only sligtly dependent on energy [1,2]. For te definition of new effects at small angles and especially in te region of te diffraction minimum one must know te effects of te Coulomb-adron interference wit sufficiently ig accuracy. Te Coulomb-adron pase was calculated in te entire diffraction domain taking into account te form factors of te nucleons [3]. Some polarization effects connected wit te Coulomb adron interference, including some possible odderon contribution, were also calculated [4]. Te model-dependent analysis based on all te existing experimental data of te spin-correlation parameters above p L 6 GeV allows us to determine te structure of te adron spin-flip amplitude at ig energies and to predict its beavior at superig energies [6]. Tis analysis sows tat te ratios Re φ 5(s,t)/( t Re φ 1(s,t)) and Im φ 5(s,t)/( t Im φ 1(s,t)) depend on s and t (see Fig.1 a,b). At small momentum transfers, it was found tat te slope of te 1) selugin@tsun1.jinr.ru

Te obtained spin-flip amplitude leads to te additional contribution to te pure CNI effect at small t (Fig. 1 c). Te dependence of te adron spin-flip amplitude on t at small angles is closely related wit te basic structure of adrons at large distances. We sow tat te slope of te so-called reduced adron spin-flip amplitude (te adron spin-flip amplitude witout te kinematic factor t ) can be larger tan te slope of te adron spin-non-flip amplitude, as was observed long ago [5]. II THE SLOPE OF THE HADRON AMPLITUDES For an exponential form of te amplitudes tis coincides wit te usual slope of te differential cross sections divided by 2. At small t ( GeV 2 ), practically all semipenomenological analyses assume: B + 1 B + 2 B 1 B 2. If te potentials V ++ and V + are assumed to ave a Gaussian form in te first Born approximation φ 1 and ˆφ 5 will ave te same form φ 1 (s,t) exp( B 2 ), φ 5 (s,t) = q B exp( B 2 ). In tis special case, terefore, te slopes of te spin-flip and residual spin-non-flip amplitudes are indeed te same. A Gaussian form of te potential is adequate to represent te central part of te adronic interaction. Te form cuts off te Bessel function and te contributions at large distances. If, owever, te potential (or te corresponding eikonal) as a long tail (exponential or power) in te impact parameter, te Bessel functions can not be taken in te approximation form and te full integration leads to different results. If we take χ i (b,s) H e a ρ, we obtain F nf (s,t) = a/[(a 2 +q 2 ) 3/2 ] 1/[a a 2 +q 2 ] exp( Bq 2 ) (1)

3 wit B = 1/a 2. For te residual spin-flip amplitude, on te oter and, we obtain [8] t F sf (s,t) = (3 a q)/[(a 2 +q 2 ) 5/2 ] (3 aq B 2 )/( a 2 +q 2 ) exp( 2 Bq 2 ). (2) In tis case, terefore, te slope of te residual spin-flip amplitude exceeds te slope of te spin-non-flip amplitudes by a factor of two. A similar beaviour can be obtained wit te standard dipole form factor [8]. III THE DETERMINATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE HADRON SPIN-FLIP AMPLITUDE Note tat if te reduced spin-flip amplitude is not small, te impact of a large B will reflect in te beavior of te differential cross section at small angles [7]. Te metod gives only te absolute value of te coefficient of te spin-flip amplitude. Te imaginary and real parts of te spin-flip amplitude can be found only from te measurements of te spin correlation coefficient. Let us take te spin nonflip amplitude in te standard exponential form wit definite parameters: slope B +, σ tot and ρ +. For te residual spin-flip amplitude, on te oter and, we consider two possibilities: equal slopes B = B + and B = 2B +. Te results of tese two different calculations are sown in Fig.2. It is clear tat around te maximum of te Coulomb-adron interference, te difference between te two variants is very small. But wen t > 0.01 GeV 2, tis difference grows. So, if we try to find te contribution of te pomeron spin-flip, we sould take into account tis effect. As te value of A N depends on te determination of te beam polarization, let us calculate te derivative of A N wit respect to t, for example, at s = 500 GeV. If we know te parameters of te adron spin non-flip amplitude, te measurement of te analyzing power at small transfer momenta elps us to find te structure of te adron spin-flip amplitude. Tere is a specific point of te differential cross sections and of A N on te axis of te momentum transfer, - t re, were ReF ++ c = ReF ++. Tis point t re can be found from te measurement of te differential cross sections [9]. At ig energies at te point t re [8] we obtain for pp-scattering ReF sf (s,t) = 1 2(ImFnf (s,t)+imfc nf (t))a N(s,t) dσ dt ReFsf c (t). (3) We can again take te adron spin-nonflip and spin-flip amplitudes wit definite parameters and calculate te magnitude of A N by te usual complete form wile te real part of te adron spin-flip amplitude is given by (3). Our calculation by tis formula and te input real part of te spin-flip amplitude are sown in Fig. 2 c. At te point t re bot curves coincide. So if we obtain from te accurate measurement of te differential cross sections te value of t re, we can find from A N

IV THE MODEL PREDICTIONS Te model [10] takes into account te contribution of te adron interaction at large distances and leads to te ig-energy spin-flip amplitude. Te model gives te large spin effects in te -elastic scattering and predicts non-small effects for te PP2PP experiment at RHIC especially in te diffraction dip domain [11]. Te additional pure CNI effects can be calculated using te Coulomb-nuclear pase [3]. Tese polarization effects will be present at RHIC energy, even toug F + 0 at ig energy. Our model calculations sow on Fig.3 for bot cases. Te model gives te standard t-dependence of ReF ++ and ImF ++. Instead of it, in a convenient parameterization of bot te modulus and te pase one can obtain te alternative case, in wic ImF (s,t) as te zero at small t (for details, (a) (b) (c) FIGURE 3. (a) and (b) A N at s = 50 GeV (a) te full line is te total A N ; te dused line is te A CN N. (c).

(b) and (c) A CN N at s = 50 GeV and s = 500 GeV in te region of te dip (te solid line corresponds to te model I wit zero of IF at dip; te dased line sows te variant II, wit te zero of te ReF at te dip). see [12]). Suc an approac enables one to specify te elastic adron scattering amplitude F (s,t)directly fromte elastic scattering data. Te difference between te pases leads eiter to central or periperal distributions of elastic adron scattering in te impact parameter space. Te obtained form of A CN N at small momentum transfers differs for te two variants beginning at t > 0.05 GeV 2 (Fig.4 a). Te difference reaces 2% at t = 0.15 GeV 2 and, in principle, can be measured in an accurate experiment. Now let us calculate te Coulomb-adron interference effect - A CN N in te two alternatives for iger t : (i) te diffraction dip is created by te zero of te ImF (s,t) part of te scattering amplitude and ReF (s,t) fills it; (ii) te diffraction dip is created by te zero of te ReF (s,t) part of te scattering amplitude and ImF (s,t) fills it. Te results are sown in Fig. 4 (b) for s = 50 GeV and in Fig. 4 (c) at s = 500 GeV. REFERENCES 1. Akcurin N., Buttimore N.H. and Penzo A., Pys. Rev. D 51, 3944 (1995). 2. Selyugin O.V., Pys. Lett.
