Abstract
The reaction has been measured with the COSY-TOF detector at a beam momentum of . The polarized proton beam enables the measurement of the beam analyzing power by the asymmetry of the produced kaon . This observable allows the spin triplet scattering length to be extracted for the first time model independently from the final state interaction in the reaction. The obtained value is . This value is compatible with theoretical predictions and results from model-dependent analyses.
