We report the results of a precise measurement of the K−p→K¯∘n cross section between 515 and 1065 MeV/c in steps of 10 MeV/c. The statistical errors are less than 1%, a major improvement in accuracy over previous work. No evidence is found for the new I=1 K¯N resonances at 546 and 602 MeV/c reported recently by Carroll et al.

New results are presented from the continuation of an experiment designed to study the polarization in elastic p−p scattering at large four-momentum transfers. A high-intensity unpolarized proton beam of momentum 12.3 GeV/c was incident on a propanediol polarized proton target and both final-state protons were detected and momentum-analyzed in multiwire proportional chamber spectrometers. The measurements spanned the t range 1.5<|t|<6.2 (GeV/c)2. The results are discussed in the framework of optical, exchange, and parton models.

The polarization parameter in pp elastic scattering was measured at 6 GeV/ c with fine t resolution for 0.02 < − t < 0.5 GeV 2 using a polarized proton beam with Effective Mass Spectrometer at the Zero Gradient Synchrotron. The polarization rises like √− t in the interval 0.02 < − t < 0.1 GeV 2 , No statistical significant structure was found in this region of momentum transfer.

Results are presented from an experiment designed to make the first systematic study of the depolarization parameter in elastic proton-proton scattering at high energies. Measurements were made at 3.0 and 6.0 GeV/c at |t| values extending to 1.7 (GeV/c)2 at the higher momentum. A high-intensity unpolarized proton beam was incident on a polarized proton target and the polarization of the elastically scattered recoil protons was determined with a carbon analyzer. The results are discussed in the framework of optical and exchange models.

We present herein the initial results of a large-angle elastic p−p polarization experiment which is now in progress at the Argonne ZGS (Zero-Gradient Synchrotron) accelerator. Data for the incident proton momentum of 5.15 GeVc are presented for 30∘≲θc.m.≲90∘. These results, which extend to t≈−4.0(GeVc)2, represent the first high-statistics p−p polarization measurements for |t| values greater than ∼2.5 (GeVc)2. We observe a minimum in the polarization near t=−0.8(GeVc)2, a smooth increase in the polarization until a maximum is attained near t=−1.8(GeVc)2, and then a monotonic decline in the polarization until the value of zero is reached at θc.m.=90∘. The data are analyzed in terms of an optical model.

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.

The single-particle inclusive pion spectrum from the reaction p + p → π ± + anything at 28.5 GeV is presented in both tabular and graphical form. The data are from exposures in the BNL 203 cm bubble chamber. The emphasis of this paper is on exhibiting the single-particle spectra in sufficient detail so that the data will be useful to those interested in testing models and developing new concepts.

Total and differential cross sections are presented for proton-antiproton annihilation into π+π− and K+K− at six laboratory momenta between 686 and 1098 MeV/c. The two-pion final state displays moderate energy dependence in its differential cross section, but shows no evidence of any direct-channel resonances. In contrast, the two-kaon final state exhibits some behavior in the total and differential cross section suggestive of a possible direct-channel effect between 800 and 1000 MeV/c.

We have measured the cross sections for these reactions and the cross sections of resonances produced in them. The production of Y ∗± (1385) , ϱ o (765), and f o (1260) is observed in the first reaction; ϱ o (765) in the second; Y ∗−,o (1385), ω o (748), B − (1235), probably ϱ o,− (765), and an enhancement we interpret to be the J P = 1 2 − Σ o (1750) in the third. Single particle longitudinal momentum distributions and average values of transverse momentum are presented. The observed single particle production angular distributions show good qualitative but not quantitative agreement with the Reggeized multiperipheral model of Chan, Loskiewicz, and Allison. We found strong disagreement between the amounts of observed resonance production and the results of the multiperipheral model of Plahte and Roberts that is based on the models of Chan et al. and Veneziano. However, we included isospin effects only in an approximate manner.

Resonance production in the above reactions containing a proton in the final state is characterized primarily by the production of K ∗− (890). The events with a final state neutron are characterized by the production of either K ∗− (890) or Δ − (1236), but very little double resonance production. Cross sections are presented. Exponential slopes for the momentum-transfer distributions of the K ∗− (890) and Δ − (1236) were determined and found to be much smaller than for elastic scattering. For the π − π − p K 0 events the spin density matrix elements for the decay of the K ∗− (890) in the Jackson frame imply alignment. Single particle longitudinal momentum distributions and average values of transverse momentum are presented. The single particle production angular distributions of all three reactions were compared with the results of the Reggeized multiperipheral model of Chan, Loskiewicz, and Allison (CLA) modified to include resonance production. Good qualitative agreement was found. The data from the π − π − p K 0 events were also compared with a multiperipheral model of Plahte and Roberts that is based on the CLA and Veneziano models.
