From April 2nd to April 5th, 2024, works related to the implementation of the new version of the Jagiellonian University Repository system will be carried out. It will not be possible to enter new information into the repository during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The dynamics of $\eta$ -meson production and the interaction of $\eta$ mesons with nucleons can be studied using the $\vec{p}p\rightarrow pp\eta$ reaction via measurements of the analyzing power $A_{y}$. To this end, we have performed a measurement of the $\vec{p}p\rightarrow pp\eta$ reaction using the WASA-at-COSY detector, which provides large acceptance and is $\varphi$ -symmetric. The experiment was carried out for the beam momenta of 2026 MeV/c and 2188 MeV/c. In this article, we present a method and results for the determination of the degree of the beam polarization.
