Results are reported based on a study of 3114 π−p events at 205 GeV/c in the National Accelerator Laboratory 30-in. bubble chamber. The measured π−p total and elastic cross sections are 24.0 ± 0.5 and 3.0 ± 0.3 mb, respectively. The elastic differential cross section has a slope of 9.0 ± 0.7 GeV−2 for 0.03≤−t≤0.6 GeV2. The average charged-particle multiplicity for the inelastic events is 8.02 ± 0.12.

Elastic diffraction scattering of π − , K − and p on protons has been measured at 25 and 40 GeV/c at the Serpukhov Proton Accelerator. Differential elastic cross sections and diffraction slopes are presented in the momentum-transfer interval 0.07–0.80 (GeV/ c ) 2 and compared with existing data at lower energies.

Topological and channel cross sections are given for the more common final states produced in K − p interactions at 8.25 GeV/ c together with the single particle inclusive cross sections. We present cross sections for prominent resonances occurring in final states K N (nπ) and find the resonance fractions to be roughly independent of multiplicity.

We present the first results of a measurement of the total cross-section σ T in proton-proton collisions at equivalent laboratory momenta between 291 and 1480 GeV/ c at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR). The method is based on the measurement of the ratio of the total interaction rate and the machine luminosity. The data show an increase of about 10% in σ T in this energy interval.

Measurements of proton-proton elastic scattering at angles around 6 mrad have been made at centre-of-mass energies of 23, 31, 45 and 53 GeV using the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings. The absolute scale of the cross-section was established by determination of the effective density of the colliding beans in their overlap region. Proton-proton total cross sections were deduced by extrapolation of the elastic differential cross-section to the forward direction and by application of the optical theorem. The results indicate that over the energy range studied the proton-proton total cross-section increases from about 39 to about 43 mb.

NEW VALUES OF ELASTIC SLOPE USING APPARATUS DESCRIBED IN U. AMALDI ET AL., PL 43B, 231 (1973).
We have studied the K ππ system in the 14.3 GeV/ c reactions K − p → K − π + π − p, K − p → K 0 π − π 0 and K − p → K 0 π + π − n . The data have been obtained from a 500 000 picture exposure of the CERN 2m HBC. The first two final states are dominated by Q-production in the Kππ system; there is also an L-signal at M (K ππ ) ∼ 1.75 GeV. The reaction cross sections are compared to K − p data at other energies. We discuss the K ππ mass dependence of the diffractive production slope. Evidence is presented for a Q − p versus Q + p differential cross section cross-over around | t | = 0.17 GeV 2 . A t -channel isospin analysis for the KN → K ∗(890)π N channels in the Q-region shows that the I = 1 exchange amplitude is ⋍ 10% of the dominant I = 0 exchange amplitude. The K ππ decay distributions indicate a predominant J P = 1 + state in the Q-region, and an important J P = 2 − contribution in the L-region. We find neither s -channel nor t -channel helicity conservation at the meson vertex in the Q- or L-regions. The K π angular correlation moments within the K ππ diffractive system are characteristic of K π elastic scattering, suggesting a π -exchange Deck-type production mechanism. There is evidence for a Kf 0 and κπ contribution (where κ is the J P (K π ) = 0 + state) to the diffractive K ππ system. A fit to the K − π + π − and K 0 π − π 0 Dalitz-plot distributions for the Q-re gion indicates that the ratio of K ϱ to K ∗ π decay amplitudes decreases with increasing K ππ mass.

Based on 150 000 photographs taken at the ZGS with the 30 inch deuterium-filled chamber we present an analysis of the elastic p d scattering reaction. Due to unrecoreded small deuteron recoils we were only able to measure the elastic cross section in the four-momentum region | t | > 0.03 (GeV/ c ) 2 . Extrapolation towards small | t | by two different methods gave us two compatible estimates of the total elastic cross section. The differential cross section was analyzed by means of the Glauber formalism both with and without the effects due to the D-wave part of the deuteron wave function. The differential cross sections of np at 5.4 GeV/ c and pn deduced from our data were compared and exhibit a crossover phenomenon.

Results are presented on an analysis of the reaction K + p → K ∗+ (890) p at 16 GeV/ c and compared with data at lower incident momenta and with corresponding results for the reaction K − p → K ∗− (890) p. It is found for both reactions that the energy dependence of the cross section exhibits a simple ( p − n lab behaviour.
BREIT-WIGNER RESONANCE FITS WITH BACKGROUND.
We present the first results of an experiment at the CERN intersecting storage rings, which measures the total cross-section in proton-proton collisions. The equivalent laboratory momenta are 291, 496, 1068 and 1480 GeV/c. We have made a direct measurement of αT as the ratio between the total interaction rate and the machine luminosity. The present paper gives a detailed description of the experimental apparatus and of the analysis procedure. We find that αT increases by about 10% in the energy region studied.
