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 SPIN 2010 September 30 JülichN Buttimore / Akchurin1

Analyzing Power in CNI Region Interference value t c = 8 / tot, hadronic slope B Bethe phase ≈ 0.02, real-to-imaginary ≈ 0.02 Proton mass m and anomalous moment = 1.7928 September 30, 2010N. Buttimore, SPIN2010 Julich3 Analyses assume double-flip amplitude s are zero

Conclusions When all available small –t data are analyzed, the hadronic spin flip is small (value…) The magnitude of |r 5 |= 0.059 ± 0.008 and the phase angle 5 = 94.1 ± 1.7 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 ….
