Small angle elastic scattering events have been observed at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings. Directions of both particles as well as the collision vertex are reconstructed with the help of four sets of spark chambers, two for each of the two arms. The elastic nature of the events is demonstrated by a collinearity requirement. We find values for the (diffraction) slope parameter in disagreement with the simple linear extrapolation of lower energy (Surpukov) data.

We have measured the total inelastic cross section (σinel) and charged-particle multiplicities obtained in pp collisions at 405 GeV/c. The data are from a preliminary 12 000-picture bubble-chamber exposure. We find σinel=32.8±1.0 mb; the low moments of the multiplicity distribution for negative particles are 〈n−〉=3.50±0.07, D−=2.37±0.05, f2−=2.1±0.2, and f3−=0.1±0.9. We also present updated results at 102 GeV/c.

FIT TO ELASTIC DIFFERENTIAL CROSS SECTION FOR 0.05 < -T < 0.7 GEV**2.
Production and decay properties of the B-meson are studied in the reactions π±p→B±p at 11 GeV/c. Values for mass, width, total and differential cross-sections and spin density matrix elements are given. The spin and parity, and the helicity states in the B→πω decay, are analysed.

A sample of 43000 two-prong events obtained at a momomentum of 11.7 GeV/c is used to determine the cross-sections of the fitted channels, and to study the reaction π+p→π+pπ0. We investigate in particular the quasi-two-body channels π0Δ++ and ρ+p.

AVERAGED OVER ALL PRODUCTION ANGLES.
Measurements of proton-proton elastic scattering at angles around 6 mrad have been made at centre-of-mass energies of 23, 31, 45 and 53 GeV using the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings. The absolute scale of the cross-section was established by determination of the effective density of the colliding beans in their overlap region. Proton-proton total cross sections were deduced by extrapolation of the elastic differential cross-section to the forward direction and by application of the optical theorem. The results indicate that over the energy range studied the proton-proton total cross-section increases from about 39 to about 43 mb.

NEW VALUES OF ELASTIC SLOPE USING APPARATUS DESCRIBED IN U. AMALDI ET AL., PL 43B, 231 (1973).
Results are reported based on a study of 3114 π−p events at 205 GeV/c in the National Accelerator Laboratory 30-in. bubble chamber. The measured π−p total and elastic cross sections are 24.0 ± 0.5 and 3.0 ± 0.3 mb, respectively. The elastic differential cross section has a slope of 9.0 ± 0.7 GeV−2 for 0.03≤−t≤0.6 GeV2. The average charged-particle multiplicity for the inelastic events is 8.02 ± 0.12.

In a 35 000-picture exposure of the 30-in. hydrogen bubble chamber to a 300-GeV/c proton beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, 10054 interactions have been observed. The measured total cross section is $40.68 \pm 0.55$ mb, the elastic cross section is $7.89 \pm 0.52$ mb, and the average charged-particle multiplicity for inelastic events is $8.S0 \pm 0.12$.

From a 150 000-photograph exposure, we analyzed the p¯d→p¯psn reaction, ps denoting a proton stopping in the deuterium-filled bubble chamber. Choosing kinematical regions in which the ps can be recognized as a spectator, we studied the p¯n→p¯n process. From the observed p¯n diffraction peak, we obtained an exponential slope for the four-momentum-transfer distribution of bn=9.4±0.8 (GeV/c)−2, the elastic p¯n cross section being estimated as σe(p¯n)=16.5±2.4 mb. The present values in conjunction with those obtained at ≈1.8 and 3.5 GeV/c show that in this region bn and σe(p¯n) decrease with increasing incident momentum. We compared our data with the reactions np→np at ≈5.4 GeV/c and p¯p→p¯p at 5.7 GeV/c. The p¯n→p¯n and np→np differential cross sections exhibit a crossover phenomenon while p¯p and p¯n elastic scattering show an isospin dependence. We also analyzed the p¯d→p¯psn reaction by means of the Glauber formalism.

Single and joint decay angular distributions in the reaction p p → Δ ++ Δ ++ at 9.13 GeV/ c are discussed in the framework of single and double statistical tensors. The t dependence of 12 double statistical tensors is presented. Cross sections for p p → p p π + π − and p p → Δ ++ Δ ++ are determined to be 2.60 ± 0.10 and 0.90 ± 0.10 mb respectively. The results obtained are compared with other experiments mainly at 5.7 and 12 GeV/ c .
