Electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections have been measured at squared four-momentum transfers q 2 of 0.67, 1.00, 1.17, 1.50, 1.75, 2.33 and 3.00 (GeV/ c ) 2 and Electron scattering angles θ e between 10° and 20° and at about 86° in the laboratory. The proton electromagnetic form factors G E p and G M p were determined. The results indicate that G E p ( q 2 ) decreases faster with increasing q 2 than G M p ( q 2 ). Quasi-elastic electron-deuteron cross sections have been determined at values of q 2 = 0.39, 0.565, 0.78, 1.0 and 1.5 (GeV/ c ) 2 and scattering angles between 10° and 12°. At q 2 = 0.565 (GeV/ c 2 data have also been taken with θ e = 35° and at q 2 = 1.0 and 1.5 (GeV/ c ) 2 with θ e = 86°. Electron-proton as well as electron-neutron scattering cross sections have been deduced by the ratio method. The theoretical uncertainties of this procedure are shown to be small by comparison of the bound with the free proton cross sections. The magnetic form factor of the neutron G M n derived from the data is consistent with the scaling law. The charge form factor of the neutron is found to be small.

The neutron longitudinal and transverse asymmetries $A^n_1$ and $A^n_2$ have been extracted from deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons by a polarized $^3$He target at incident energies of 19.42, 22.66 and 25.51 GeV. The measurement allows for the determination of the neutron spin structure functions $g^n_1 (x,Q^2)$ and $g^n_2(x,Q^2)$ over the range $0.03 < x < 0.6$ at an average $Q^2$ of 2 (GeV$/c)^2$. The data are used for the evaluation of the Ellis-Jaffe and Bjorken sum rules. The neutron spin structure function $g^n_1 (x,Q^2)$ is small and negative within the range of our measurement, yielding an integral ${\int_{0.03}^{0.6} g_1^n(x) dx}= -0.028 \pm 0.006 (stat) \pm 0.006 (syst) $. Assuming Regge behavior at low $x$, we extract $\Gamma_1^n=\int^1_0 g^n_1(x)dx = -0.031 \pm 0.006 (stat)\pm 0.009 (syst) $. Combined with previous proton integral results from SLAC experiment E143, we find $\Gamma_1^p - \Gamma_1^n = 0.160 \pm 0.015$ in agreement with the Bjorken sum rule prediction $\Gamma^p_1 - \Gamma ^n_1 = 0.176 \pm 0.008$ at a $Q^2$ value of 3 (GeV$/c)^2$ evaluated using $\alpha_s = 0.32\pm 0.05$.

The elastic electron-proton scattering cross section has been measured at laboratory angles between 90° and 144° and for values of the four-momentum transfer squared between 25 and 45 F−2 (incident electron laboratory energies from 830 to 1360 MeV). Both the scattered electrons and the recoil protons were momentum analyzed and counted in coincidence, making possible background-free measurements down to cross sections of the order of 10−35 cm2/sr. The data are consistent with the Rosenbluth formula, and the resulting form factors tie on well with previous measurements at lower momentum transfer, continuing the established trend.

Data obtained with the bubble chamber BEBC at CERN are used for the first significant test of Adler's prediction for the neutrino and antineutrino-proton scattering cross sections at vanishing four-momentum transfer squaredQ2. An Extended Vector Meson Dominance Model (EVDM) is applied to extrapolate Adler's prediction to experimentally accessible values ofQ2. The data show good agreement with Adler's prediction forQ2→0 thus confirming the PCAC hypothesis in the kinematical region of high leptonic energy transfer ν>2 GeV. The good agreement of the data with the theoretical predictions also at higherQ2, where the EVDM terms are dominant, also supports this model. However, an EVDM calculation without PCAC is clearly ruled out by the data.

Muon-neutrino and -antineutrino scattering off electrons was detected in a 19-ton Al spark chamber, exposed to the wide-band ν (ν¯) beam from the CERN proton synchrotron. The background was determined experimentally. 11 (10) genuine νμ− (ν¯μ−) e scattering events were found. The respective cross sections are (1.1±0.6)×10−42(Eν/GeV) cm2 and (2.2±1.0)×10−42(Eν/GeV) cm2. The analysis excludes a pure V−A interaction, and makes a pure V or A theory improbable. The data agree well with the Salam-Weinberg model and sin2θW=0.35±0.08.

Data were taken at the energy 2 E = 990 MeV to search for multibody events, with the same large solid angle detector which has been used for the measurement of the ϱ , ω and φ production by e + e − annilations. Assuming a π + π − π 0 π 0 production by the quasi two-body process e + e − → ϱ → ωπ 0 we give the correspondi ng cross section σ (e + e − → π + π − π 0 π 0 ) = (1.1 ± 0.5) 10 −32 cm 2 . Since no events with 3 and 4 charged pions have been observed σ (e + e − → π + π − π 0 π − ) ⩽ 1.5 × 10 −33 cm 2 .

A large solid angle detector has been used to observe π + π − π 0 events produced, at the ω energy, by electron-positron collisions in the ORSAY storage ring. From the ω excitation curve we have deduced: σ ( e + e − → ω 3 π ) = (180 ± 0.20) μ b, Γ = (9.1 ± 0.8) MeV and with B( ω → π + π − π 0 ) = 0.898 ± 0.045 we have calculated Γ e + e − = (0.76 ± 0. 08) keV and g 2 ω 4π = 18.4 ± 1.8 .

A large solid angle detector has been used to observe two body events produced by electron-positron collisions in the Orsay storage ring. From the π + π − excitation curve in the ϱ region we have deduced the amplitude and the phase of the ω-ϱ interference, and the ϱ resonance paramaters: M ϱ = (775.4±7.3) MeV, Γ ϱ = (149.6 ± 23.2) MeV, √ B ( ω → π + π − ) = 0.19 ± 0.05, φ = (85.7 ± 15.3) 0 , σ ( e + e − → ϱ ) = (1.00 ± 0.13) μ b at S = M ϱ 2 , B ( ϱ → e + e − = (4.1 ± 0.5) × 10 −5 , Γ ( ϱ → e + e − ) = (6.1 ± 0.7) keV, ( g ϱ 2 /4 π ) = 2.26 ± 0.25, ( g ϱππ 2 /4 π ) = 2.84 ± 0.50.

We report on inclusive K 0 production in the region of the upsilon resonances (9.4–10.6 GeV). The K 0 yield for the resonances and continuum below the B B threshold is found to be constant at 0.82 ± 0.10 K 0 per observed hadronic event. At the ϒ (4S), however, the K 0 yield is significantly higher, 1.58 ± 0.35. This increase in K 0 production and the differential cross section d σ /d p of kaons are consistent with B B decay of the ϒ (4S) resonance with the bottom quarks subsequently decaying primarily into charmed quarks.

We present results on the inclusive distributions of final-state hadrons created in deep-inelastic electron scattering from protons and deuterons. Data were taken from all portions of the kinematic range simultaneously in an apparatus which had equal detection efficiency for both charge signs. A subset of the produced hadrons were identified with a threshold-type Čerenkov counter. We find that the charge ratio h+h− is a strong function of Q2, xF, and pT2, with little dependence on s. The ratio of production of h− from deuterium to that from hydrogen as a function of φ is flat. The invariant cross section for each charge sign and each target exhibits the seagull effect (a correlation in 〈pT〉 and 〈xF〉). The value of 〈pT〉 for data in the range 0.4<xF<0.85 increases slightly as Q2 increases. The exponential dropoff in pT for production of protons and kaons is similar to that for pions. The dropoff in xF for production of pions shows a definite dependence on Q2, but this effect is largely caused by the decay products of the exclusive ρ0 final state. Finally, f(xF) for π+, π−, K+, K−, p, and p¯ is presented for each target type.
