Absorptive corrections to the forward elastic proton-proton analyzing power A N
In the RHIC Polarized Atomic Hydrogen Gas Jet Target (HJET) measurements of the protonproton analyzing power A N (t), absorptive corrections to the electromagnetic form factor were not considered in the data analysis. Recently, these corrections were evaluated theoretically. However, the results were presented in form of integral expressions which were calculated numerically. In this note, the expressions are simplified to make them more suitable for the HJET data analysis. Possible effect of the absorptive corrections in the A N (t) measurement is discussed.
