ABSTRACT The analyzing power of ${\vec p}p\to pp{\pi}^0$ reaction has been measured at the beam energy of 390 MeV. The missing mass technique of final protons has been applied to identify the $\pi^0$ production event. The dependences of the analyzing power on the pion emission-angle and the relative momentum of the protons have beenobtained. The angular dependence could be decomposed by the Legendre polynomial and the relative contribution of the $P_{21}$ to $P_{11}$ function is less than 20%. The P-state amplitude is found to be the dominant component of the $\pi$ production near the threshold. The momentum dependence of the analyzing power has been studied to obtain the information about the pion production mechanism. It has been deduced that the pion production due to the long range interaction plays an important role in the momentum dependence of the P-state amplitude.

##### Article: Complete set of polarization observables in p-->p-->-->pppi0 close to threshold
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In a kinematically complete experiment we have measured the two analyzing powers and the five spin correlation coefficients of the reaction p-->p-->-->pppi0 as a function of all five parameters of the three-body final state for bombarding energies between 325 and 400 MeV. The data are in disagreement with the theoretical predictions available at this time. Below 400 MeV, fewer than a dozen complex partial-wave amplitudes are likely to be significant, and it is expected that the present experimental information constrains these amplitudes. We also describe the formalism for an expansion of the spin observables into a complete set of angular functions and use this to completely characterize the polarization information obtainable from reactions with polarized spin-1/2 collision partners and a three-body final state.

ABSTRACT: We develop a toy model of pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions that reproduces some of the features of the chiral Lagrangian calculations. We calculate the production amplitude and examine some common approximations. Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures
