Abstract.
A polarized proton beam extracted from SATURNE II, the Saclay polarized target with \(^6\)Li compounds, and a \(\mathrm{CH}_2\) target were used to measure elastic and quasi-elastic pp spin-dependent observables in the angular region \(60^{\circ} < \theta_{\mathrm{CM}} < 105^{\circ}\). The beam and/or target polarizations were oriented vertically. Accurate pp data for the analyzing power \(A_{\mathrm{oono}}\), spin-correlation parameter \(A_{\mathrm{oonn}}\), and the polarization transfer \(K_{\mathrm{onno}}\) were measured at 1.1 GeV. The observables \(A_{\mathrm{oono}}\) and \(K_{\mathrm{onno}}\) were determined at six other energies between 1.6 and 2.4 GeV. At 1.6 GeV, \(A_{\mathrm{oonn}}\) was also obtained. The individual contributions from H, \(^6\)Li, and \(^6\)LiD were deduced. The \(\mathrm{CH}_2\) target provided \(A_{\mathrm{oono}}(\mathrm{pp})\) results on free hydrogen and on protons in carbon. The elastic and quasi-elastic observables are compared with existing data and with phase-shift analysis predictions.
