Angular Dependence Of The Pp Elastic-Scattering Analyzing Power Between 0.8 And 2.8 Gev. I. Results For 1.80-2.24 Gev

Experimental results are presented for the pp elastic-scattering single spin observable A(oono)=A(ooon)=A(N) =P, or the analyzing power, at 19 beam kinetic energies between 1795 and 2235 MeV. The typical c.m. angular range is 60-100 degrees. The measurements were performed at Saturne II with a vertically polarized beam and target (transverse to the beam direction and scattering plane), a magnetic spectrometer and a recoil detector, both instrumented with multiwire proportional chambers, and beam polarimeters.
