Proposal on the measurements of d-p elastic scattering analyzing powers at 0.3-2.0 GeV at internal target station of the Nuclotron

A new high-energy beam polarimeter is proposed for the Nuclotron using the Internal Target Station (ITS). This polarimeter based on the measurement of the asymmetry for the d-p elastic scattering will allow one to measure both vector and tensor components of the deuteron beam polarization simultaneously. For that purpose the measurement of analyzing powers for the d-p elastic scattering at energies Td = 0.88-2 GeV is proposed. The precise measurements of the deuteron analyzing powers over the energy range Td 300-2000 MeV can give an irreplaceable clue to the study of spin-dependence of three-nucleon forces
