The polarization parameters (P, R, A) measurement results above pion momentum above 1000 MeV/c made it possible to resolve part of discrete ambiguities in existing partial-wave analyses (PWA’s)The polarization experiments at N-elastic scattering use the proton polarized target.The experiment uses a polarized proton target in which free protons have vertical polarization or polarization in the elastic scattering plane.Uncertainty (abs.) is ±~2% at 70% of polarization magnitude.The area under the PMR curve is determined using a Q meter.
