Abstract
The first polarization-transfer measurements for delta production on a nuclear target are presented for the reaction at 0° and 795 MeV. Polarization observables are used to extract the spin-longitudinal, spin-transverse, and spin-independent partial cross sections. In the spin-longitudinal channel, fair agreement is found between experiment and a model which includes a strongly attractive residual interaction. A large unexpected enhancement in the spin-transverse cross section is observed.
