Omega meson production in pp collisions with a polarized beam

Abstract

Model independent formulae are derived for the beam analyzing power $A_y$ and beam to meson spin transfers in $pp\to pp\omega$ taking into consideration all the six threshold partial wave amplitudes covering the $Ss,Sp$ and $Ps$ channels. Attention is also focussed on the empirical determination of the lowest three partial wave amplitudes $f_1,f_2,f_3$ without any discrete ambiguities.
