The inclusive production cross sections of pions, kaons, protons, and antiprotons in p p and pp interactions at √ s =53 GeV are compared in the kinematic range | y | < 0.8 and p T < 1.5 GeV/ c . We observe differences in the K + /K − and p /p ratios for the two data samples. Although the bulk of the particles are produced with the same momentum and rapidity distributions in p p and pp collisions, we observe difference in these distributions for produced protons and antiprotons.

Absolute inclusive cross sections for\(\bar pp\) interactions at 7.3 GeV/c are given. The data cover prong cross sections,V0, γ production and inclusive charged particle (p/π) production. Separation has been made into annihilation and non-annihilation components. Inclusive π+, π− production in the processes of\(\bar pp\) annihilation and non-annihilation are compared with simple quark models.

ANNIHILATION AND NON-ANNIHILATION TOPOLOGICAL CROSS SECTIONS.
Interactions of 200-GeV/c protons and antiprotons on hydrogen, argon, and xenon targets were studied with a streamer-chamber vertex spectrometer at the CERN SPS. Results on multiplicities, rapidity distributions, and correlations are presented and compared with predictions of current models.

Results on charged particle production in pp̄ collision at s 1 2 = 540 GeV are presented. The data were obtained at the CERN pp̄ collider using the UA1 detector, operated without magnetic field. The central particle density is 3.3 + - 0.2 per unit o pseudo-rapidity for non-diffractive events. KNO scaling of the multiplicity distributions withresults from ISR energies is observed.

We have studied the inclusive production of the hadrons π ± , K ± , p, p , Λ, Λ , ρ and ⋉ in the central region at the ISR s = 53 GeV , in both pp and p p collisions. Differences are observed only for K ± , p, and p production. We then study also correlations between low- p T pp and p p pairs in the two types of collisions, separating the contribution from baryon pair production and from the incident particles (stopping protons). We observe a positive correlation between two stopping protons; between the production of two pairs, and between a stopping proton and a pair production, there are negative correlations.

New data are presented on the charged multiplicity distribution for non single-diffractive events produced in pp̄ interactions at a CM energy s = 540 GeV . The distribution in the full pseudorapidity range is compared with data from the ISR. Using the scaling variable z = n 〈n〉 a change of shape is observed. The effect is manifested as an increase from 2% to 6% in the proportion of high multiplicity ( z > 2) events. For the central pseudorapidity range, | η | ⪅ 1.5, scaling is approximately valid up to s = 540 GeV .
THE SCALING VARIABLE Z IS N/MEAN(N). THE ERRORS ARE HIGHLY CORRELATED AND ARE BASED ON THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE NUMBER OF EVENTS IN THE BIN. IN THE CASE OF MULTIPLICITIES 2,4, AND 6, ADDITIONAL SYSTEMATIC ERRORS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. ABOVE MULTIPLICITY 96 BINS HAVE BEEN COMBINED - THE VALUE IN THE TABLE IS THE AVERAGE OVER THE RANGE - NOT THE SUM. NOTE ALSO THAT IN FIG. 1 THE "Y-VALUE" IS MULTIPLIED BY THE MEAN MULTIPLICITY (29.1).

The inclusive production ofKs0, Λ and\(\bar \Lambda \) particles is investigated in 70 GeV/c\(\bar pp\) interactions in an experiment performed at CERN using BEBC equipped with a TST. Differential cross-sections are studied and compared with corresponding data at surrounding energies. Differences withpp data obtained at the same energy allow an estimate of theKs0, production cross-section in annihilation processes. Evidence is also given for central\(\Lambda \bar \Lambda \) production.

Inclusive particle production cross-sections have been measured at the\(Sp\bar pS\) collider using the UA2 detector in various ranges of transverse momentum (PT) and pseudo-rapidity (η). Cross-section measurements are presented forπ0 production (PT≦15 GeV/c, |η|≦0.85 andPT≦40 GeV/c, 1.0≦|η|≦1.8), for η meson production (3≦PT≦6 GeV/c, |η|≦0.85) and for charged particle production (PT≦10 GeV/c, 1.0≦|η|≦1.8). Results are compared with the predictions of QCD calculations.

The p̄p annihilation cross section has been measured with good resolution (∼2 MeV rms) in the mass range 1900–1960 MeV. No narrow structures are seen, the 90% confidence level upper limit being 8–12 mb‐MeV for the integrated area of a resonance in this mass range. However, we do not rule out a very narrow bump‐dip structure seen in an earlier experiment in the 1935–1941 MeV mass interval. The data also do not support the existence of a broad structure previously reported at 1937 MeV.
Fit of form A + B/D gives A = 8.5 +- 2.5mb and B = 40.7 +- 1.3mb in the mass range 1900 to 1960 MeV.
Multiplicity distributions of charged particles for inelastic, non single-diffractive events in proton-antiproton collisions at a centre of mass energy of 540 GeV are presented for various pseudorapidity (Δη) intervals. The widths of the multiplicity distributions, scaled to their means, increase as Δη is made smaller, and the deviation from a Poisson distribution becomes progressively more pronounced. It is found that the data are remarkably well described by a negative binomial distribution. The parameters of the distributions vary smoothly with the size of the acceptance interval.
