We present here the results of an experiment to study the polarization in p-p elastic scattering at the incident momenta 5.15, 7.00, and 12.33 Ge V/c, at t values ranging between - 0.5 and - 6.5 (GeV/c)². At each momentum we observe a relative maximum in the polarization around t=-1.8 (GeV/c)². At 12.33 GeV/c the data exhibit a double zero near t=-2.4 (GeV/c)² and another relative maximum near t=-2.9 (GeV/c)². The results are discussed in terms of the Chu-Hendry optical model.
