The production cross sections of the B+, B0, and B0s mesons, and of their charge conjugates, are measured via exclusive hadronic decays in pPb collisions at the center-of-mass energy sqrt(s_NN) = 5.02 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data set used for this analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 34.6 inverse nanobarns. The production cross sections are measured in the transverse momentum range between 10 and 60 GeV/c. No significant modification is observed compared to proton-proton perturbative QCD calculations scaled by the number of incoherent nucleon-nucleon collisions. These results provide a baseline for the study of in-medium b quark energy loss in PbPb collisions.

Measurements of elastic proton-proton differential cross sections for angles between 65° and 90° c.m.s. have been made at 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15 and 21 GeV/c. The shape of the angular distribution is found to change suddenly between 8 and 11 GeV/c. An interpretation of this discontinuous behaviour in terms of the reactive effects of baryon-antibaryon pair production is proposed.

Backward elastic scattering has been measured for π + p at 2.85 and 3.30 GeV/ c and for π − p at 3.30 GeV/ c . The π + p angular distributions show steep backward peaks, whereas the π − p distribution is flatter. At 2.85 GeV/ c the π + p differential cross section close to 180° is more than twice that at 3.30 GeV/ c , supporting the assignment J P = 11 2 + for Δ δ (2420) resonance. The π + p data at 2.85 GeV/ c indicate the onset of a dip at cos θ c.m. ≈ −0.97.
The data for cos(theta) = 1 is the extrapolation.

Very cold neutrons from 60 μeV to 0.1 μeV were obtained through a vertical total-reflecting neutron guide tube. Total cross sections measured by time-of-flight technique for gold and aluminium were found to obey the 1 ν law.

The elastic scattering of 3.55 GeV/ c π + and π − mesons by protons was measured at centre-of-mass angles between 165° and 177°. The angular distributions for 864 events show a steeply rising backward peak for π + p, while the shape is less clear for π − p.

Annihilations of 5.7 GeV/ c antiprotons in hydrogen into four charged pions have been studied. Production of ϱ o and f o mesons and a possible enhancement in both π ± π ± and π + π − mass distributions at 1.54 GeV is seen. Upper limits for quasi 2-body annihilations are given.

The Λ p å Λ p cross section has been measured in the Λ-momentum range of 120 to 320 MeV/ c using 238 events. A comparison with the effective range approximation yielded the values a s = −2.46, a t = −2.07, r s = 3.87 and r t = 4.50 in fm.
