Results of a survey of strange-particle production in np interactions in the momentum range 4-8 GeV/c are presented. As details of 3-body events have already been published, the results for the most part concern 4- and 5-body events with no missing neutrals. Cross sections for production of the most prominent resonances are given, and the properties of certain quasi-3-body channels discussed and compared with the corresponding states produced in pp interactions. It is found that the Σ−(1385) resonance is produced very strongly in unfitted topologies and certain statistical tensors for its production are shown to be in agreement with the predictions of the quark model.

We have made a measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry in KL0 decays. Magnetic analyses of the decay products in a spectrometer using multiwire proportional counters allowed kinematic reconstruction of the event where the particles traversed only 293 mg of matter. The leptons were differentiated from the pions only through their different transverse-momentum distributions. The asymmetry was measured to be (3.33 ± 0.50) × 10−3, in accord with the superweak description of CP nonconservation.
The asymmetry is defined as follows: ASYM = Cik/Bik, where Cik and Bik are the related to intensity of the events and depend on the particular set of transverse momenta of the leptons and pions (see text for details).
High statistics data on p p annihilation into five and more pions at 2.32 GeV/ c are presented. Cross sections for various final states and for the production of meson resonances have been determined. The Dalitz plot asymmetry for some 4 800 ω decay events produced in p p → 2π + 2π − π 0 is found to be consistent with zero. Upper limits for the production of exotic meson resonances are presented.

Complete angular distributions for the reactions p p → π − π + and other two meson states at 2.3 GeV/ c are presented. The extraordinary π − π + angular distribution is contrasted with the other final states and the predictions of simple models. A favourable comparison is made with the qualitative features of a dual model involving high mass meson states with a strong degeneracy with respect to I -spin.

We give new experimental results on ρω interference and two-body cross sections in p¯p annihilation at 2.3GeVc. These are used, together with ρω interference results from lower energies, to argue that the annihilation process is not mediated by discrete s-channel mesonic resonances in the mass range 2.1-2.6 GeV.
