Abstract

States of maximum possible polarization are investigated for ensembles of spin-12 and spin-1 particles in nuclear reactions. General criteria for extreme values of some components of the analyzing power are given and applied to the formulae for the observables of reactions with various spin spaces. Experimental data relevant to possible extreme values are discussed.
