Abstract
RECENT theoretical investigations1 of high-energy nucleon–nucleon scattering have involved the use of non-central forces in the description of the interactions between nucleons and consequently have predicted neutron and proton polarization. Experimental evidence for proton polarization was first obtained by Oxley et al. 2 at 240 MeV., and preliminary results from Harwell at 133 MeV., Chicago at 337 MeV. and Berkeley at 300 MeV. were reported at the Rochester nuclear physics conference3. Neutron polarization effects are much smaller than proton polarization effects under all the experimental conditions investigated to date3.
