New experimental results on the π + d → π + π − pp and π + d → π + π + nn reactions at T π 1 = 283 MeV are presented. In-plane coincidence data were taken with the CHAOS spectrometer using pions from the M11 channel at TRIUMF. Because of the quasi-free nature of the pion-production reaction, the present study is equivalent to studying the elementary π + N → π + π ± N reactions on protons and neutrons simultaneously. These exclusive measurements provide a set of many-fold differential cross sections which are an ideal testing ground for microscopic models describing the πN → ππN reaction. The interpretation of the data relies on a model which is based on effective chiral Lagrangians to describe the piece of the reaction that includes only π's and N 's, and on effective Lagrangians to account for intermediate Δ's and N ∗ ' s . The measured many-fold differential cross sections are used to constrain some parameters of the model (ξ, f Δ , C, g N ∗ Δπ and g N ∗ Nπ ). Finally, the π + π ± invariant mass distributions display no evidence of strongly interacting pion pairs in either the I = J = 0 or the I = 2 J = 0 channels.

The pion induced pion production (π, 2π) reaction on deuterium has been studied at an incident pion energy of 280 MeV. The outgoing pions were detected in coincidence and the measured four-fold cross sections were compared with a πN → ππ N microscopic model, and, upon integration, with the available experimental total cross sections from the same reaction on H and 2 H. Finally, the results were directly compared with recent data from the 16 O(π + , π + π − ) reaction at the same incident energy.

The DELPHI experiment at LEP uses Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors for particle identification. The good understanding of the RICH detectors allows the identification of charged pions, kaons and proto
Mean particle multiplicities for Z0-->Q-QBAR events. The second systematic (DSYS) error is due to the extrapolation of the differential distributions to the full kinematic range.

Systematic measurements of π− elastic scattering on C12 above the Δ-resonance region are reported. The differential cross sections were measured at 610, 710, 790, and 895 MeV/c over an angular range from 5° to 50°. The obtained data were compared with the first-order optical potential model. In the forward region, agreement with the calculation increases with the incident momentum. In the backward region, however, the calculation underestimates the data. The total cross section was extracted, and its energy dependence shows that the effect of Fermi averaging is important.

An investigation of π−+p elastic scattering, made in a liquid propane bubble chamber, is reported. Identification of events is made on the basis of kinematics. The problem of contamination by pion scattering from protons bound in carbon is considered in some detail; it is shown that the latter requires a correction of only 4±2.5% of the total number of events. The angular distribution is presented. It shows a large diffraction peak at small angles and an approximately isotropic plateau over the backward hemisphere. The forward peak is fitted to a black-sphere diffraction pattern with a radius of (1.08±0.06)×10−13 cm. The total elastic cross section is found to be σe=10.1±0.80 mb.

Differential cross sections for elastic π−p scattering were measured at eight energies for positive pions and seven energies for negative pions. Energies ranged from 310 to 650 MeV. These measurements were made at the 3-GeV proton synchrotron at Saclay, France. A beam of pions from an internal BeO target was directed into a liquid-hydrogen target. Fifty-one scintillation counters and a matrix-coincidence system were used to measure simultaneously elastic events at 21 angles and charged inelastic events at 78 π−p angle pairs. Events were detected by coincidence of pulses indicating the presence of an incident pion, scattered pion, and recoil proton, and the results were stored in the memory of a pulse-height analyzer. Various corrections were applied to the data and a least-squares fit was made to the results at each energy. The form of the fitting function was a power series in the cosine of the center-of-mass angle of the scattered pion. Integration under the fitted curves gave values for the total elastic cross sections (without charge exchange). The importance of certain angular-momentum states is discussed. The π−−p data are consistent with a D13 resonant state at 600 MeV, but do not necessarily require such a resonant state.

We report on a study of inclusiveπ0 and η meson production inπ+p andK+p interactions at 250 GeV/c beam momentum. The Feynman-x spectrum ofπ0 is very similar in shape and normalization to that of negatively charged particles produced in the same experiment. The results are compared with data at other energies and with FRITIOF model predictions. This model overestimates the η cross section by a factor of 2.5. It reproduces theπ0 cross section correctly, but predicts a too hardπ0x distribution.

Differential cross sections for the reaction $\gamma p \to p \pi^0$ have been measured with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) and a tagged photon beam with energies from 0.675 to 2.875 GeV. The results reported here possess greater accuracy in the absolute normalization than previous measurements. They disagree with recent CB-ELSA measurements for the process at forward scattering angles. Agreement with the SAID and MAID fits is found below 1 GeV. The present set of cross sections has been incorporated into the SAID database, and exploratory fits have been extended to 3 GeV. Resonance couplings have been extracted and compared to previous determinations.
