Summary of studies of the η meson production with polarized proton beam at COSY‐11
We report on the COSY‐11 measurements of the analysing power for the pp→ppη reaction and interpret the results in the framework of the meson exchange models.
POLARIZATION PHENOMENA IN NUCLEAR REACTIONS.
The recent appearance of high-intensity polarized beams with a small energy spread has made feasible a number of experiments which could not have been considered just a few years ago. In many reactions, polarization parameters can often be measured almost as easily as cross sections. The volume of experimental data can thus be expected to increase rapidly; the results should be precise and reliable. The problem of explaining the measurements and drawing from them all the information about nuclear structure and nuclear reaction mechanisms that they contain is likely to severely challenge standard reaction theories.
Political Developments: Some Conclusions and an Interpretation
When the political decisions and achievements of the post-Khrushchev Soviet leadership are considered as a whole, it is not immediately obvious that there is any pattern to them. It may, nevertheless, be useful to begin by devoting attention to some of the major policy tendencies and outcomes of the past decade, most of which have already been considered in greater detail by other contributors, before going on to enquire if any broad strategy underlying them may be discerned and to attempt to place the various changes in a broader political context.
