Abstract: (arXiv)
At RHIC, the hydrogen jet target polarimeter (HJET) is used to measure proton beam polarization with accuracy σPsyst/P0.5%\sigma_P^\text{syst}/P\lesssim0.5\% by counting low energy (1--10 MeV) recoil protons in left-right symmetric detectors. The HJET performance also allowed us to precisely measure pppp and ppA (where A is any ion stored at RHIC) analyzing powers in the CNI region. The results of the measurements are discussed.
