Longitudinal polarization measurements of direct muons produced in proton-nuclear collisions

The value of longitudinal polarization of direct μ +-mesons produced by 70 GeV protons and having transverse momentum p ⊥=2.8 GeV c has been measured. On the basis of these measurements as well as ones for p ⊥=2.0 GeV c [5] the value of polarization −0.85 ± 0.36 indicating the production of direct l...

Description
Summary:The value of longitudinal polarization of direct μ +-mesons produced by 70 GeV protons and having transverse momentum p ⊥=2.8 GeV c has been measured. On the basis of these measurements as well as ones for p ⊥=2.0 GeV c [5] the value of polarization −0.85 ± 0.36 indicating the production of direct leptons to weak interaction has been obtained.
