Comparative Study of Spin-Dependent Total Cross Sections in Antiproton-Proton and Proton-Proton Interactions
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of spin-dependent total cross sections in both antiproton-proton and proton-proton interactions, utilizing data from the PAX experiment at the FAIR facility. We explore the reaction matrix and measure longitudinal and transverse cross-section differences (ΔσL and ΔσT) through advanced methods and detectors. Key findings include refinements to existing theoretical models and experimental observations that enhance understanding of quantum interactions at energies ranging from 1.5 to 15 GeV/c.

With the PAX detector the transverse cross section difference T, as it was declared in PAX proposal, can be accessed by two methods [12] (1) from the rate of polarization buildup for a transversely polarized target when only a single hyperfine state is used; (2) from the difference in beam lifetime for a target polarization parallel or antiparallel to the beam. An accuracy at the 10-4 level has been achieved by the TRIC experiment at COSY using this method.

Summary. The interest in the spin dependent total cross-sections measurements at PAX energy range is justified by the following reasons: - at any energy one needs to reconstruct the imaginary parts of elastic scattering amplitudes 1, 2 and 3; - at high energy we hope to reveal the spin contributions to the total cross-sections by separating the singlet and triplet states; - several schemes of the spin-dependent total cross-sections measurement are discussed.
