Measurements have been made of the double polarisation parameters G and H in the photoproduction of neutral pions from protons, for incident photon energies between 1300 MeV and 2300 MeV and for pion c.m. angles between 50δ and 80δ. The results are compared with predictions from a recent comprehensive analysis of earlier photoproduction data.

Using 20.5 GeV electrons on protons, we measured inclusive π 0 's (of transverse momentum, p T , from 0 to 1.4 GeV/ c ) produced by virtual photons of energy, ν, from 4 to 16.5 GeV and four-momentum squared, q 2 , from −1.8 to −8.5 (GeV/ c ) 2 . Comparing with charged pion data, we find σ π 0 = 1 2 (σ π + + σ π − ) , supporting the quark model. Photon knockout of a quark is favored as the interpretation of these data because of scaling in z = E π / ν and similarity in z -dependence of other pion production data. Consistent with this interpretation are the dependence of 〈 p T 〉 on q 2 , the azimuthal dependence, and fits to the constituent interchange model. We also observe a possible p T −4 dependence at large | q 2 | over a limited p T range.

Elastic ω-meson photoproduction on protons has been measured from 46 to 180 GeV. The cross section is approximately constant with photon energy and averages 1.10 ± 0.08 μb. The t dependence of the differential cross section is consistent with A exp(bt), where b=8.4±0.7 GeV−2. The photon-omega coupling constant, obtained from a normalization of hadron elastic-scattering cross sections to the photoproduction data of this experiment (with use of vector-meson dominance and an additive quark model), is γω24π=5.4±0.4.
THE QUOTED STATISTICAL ERRORS INCLUDE THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE CORRECTION FOR INELASTIC EVENTS. AVERAGE CROSS SECTION IS 1.10 +- 0.08 MUB.

The cross section for the process e + e − → multihadrons has been measured at the highest PETRA energies. We measure R (the total cross section in units of the point-like e + e - → μ + μ - cross section) to be 2.9 ± 0.7, 4.0 ± 0.5, 4.6 ± 0.4 and 4.2 ± 0.6 at s of 22, 27.7, 30 and 31.6 GeV, respectively. The observed average multiplicity, together with existing low energy data, indicate a rapid increase in multiplicity with increasing energy.
STATISTICAL ERRORS ONLY. RADIATIVE CORRECTIONS APPLIED AND TAU HEAVY LEPTON CONTRIBUTION SUBTRACTED. AVERAGE VALUE OF R FOR ALL THESE DATA IS 4.14 +- 0.26.
AVERAGE CHARGE MULTIPLICITY. ADDITIONAL, SYSTEMATIC ERROR IS ABOUT 1.5.
We discuss a measurement of the differential cross section for the reaction KLp→KSp for incident momenta between 5 and 10 GeV/c and the |t| region 0.025 to 0.5 (GeV/c)2, carried out using the SLAC 15-in. rapid-cycling hydrogen bubble chamber triggered by the K0 spectrometer facility. This hybrid detector allowed measurement of the KL beam momentum, measurement of the recoil-proton momentum, and measurement of the decay position and momentum of the KS. Over this momentum region the ratio of the real to imaginary part of the forward-scattering amplitude was determined to be 0.93±0.24 and the phase of the forward-scattering amplitude was determined to be -(138±7)°. A fit to the forward differential cross section of the form dσdt∝p2α(t)−2 to our data together with previous measurements of the KLp→KSp differential cross section at this and lower momenta yielded an α(0)=0.39±0.10 for the dominant ω Regge trajectory. The value of α(0) as determined from the phase φ=−π[α(0)+1]2 is 0.54±0.11.

Topological distributions of charged and neutral hadrons from the reaction e + e − → multihadrons are studied at √ s of about 30 GeV. An excess of planar events is observed at a rate which cannot be explained by statistical fluctuations in the standard two-jet process. The planar events, mostly consisting of a slim jet on one side and a broader jet on the other, are shown actually to possess three-jet structure by demonstrating that the broader jet itself consists of two collinear jets in its own rest system. Detailed agreement between data and predictions is obtained if the process e + e − →q q ̄ g is taken into account. This strongly suggests gluon bremsstrahlung as the origin of the planar three-jet events. By comparison of the data with the qq̄g-model we obtain a value for the strong coupling constant of α S ( q 2 = 0.17 ± 0.04.

We present a study of the reactions p p → p p π 0 , p p → p n π + , and p p → n p π − at 8.8 GeV/ c . Cross sections for the reactions are given, and the main features of the data are shown. The data are compared with the predictions of the Deck model, and evidence is presented for the presence of baryon exchange in the Deck amplitude.

We give cross sections for annihilation and non-annihilation reactions in p p interactions at 8.8 GeV. The non-annihilation data are compared with pp data from the same experiment. We compare data on resonance production and on the impact parameter structure of the final states in p p annihilation and non-annihilation and pp interactions. We investigate the charge structure of the 2 π + 2 π − π 0 final state, and find it consistent with a simple quark model.

Inclusive cross sections for π 0 , K s 0 , Λ 0 and Λ 0 production in 100, 200 and 360 GeV /c π − p interactions are presented and compared with data at other energies. Invariant cross sections for γ, K s 0 , Λ 0 and Λ 0 production are presented in terms of Feynman x , the rapidity y , and transverse momentum squared, p T 2 . A comparison of the observed γ spectrum is made with the spectra computed assuming that the π 0 momentum distribution is identical to that of the observed π + or π − .

A search for narrow resonances in e + e − annihilation at c.m. energies between 29.90 and 31.46 GeV provides no evidence for the existence of such states. The 90% confidence upper limit on the integrated resonance cross section is 38 nb MeV, significantly below the value expected for the lowest (t,t̄) bound state.
