In π − p interactions at 9 GeV/ c and 12 GeV/ c , the forward production of N ∗ 1680 and N ∗ 1520 has been observed with features of nucleon exchange. The production of Δ1232 is strongly suppressed.

T-DEPENDENCE OF TWO-BODY PROTON DIFFRACTION DISSOCIATION FOR VARIOUS MASS BINS. FOR IDENTIFICATION OF POSSIBLE <P PI0> AND <N PI+> RESONANCES, SEE THE PREVIOUS LETTER, R. R. APPLE ET AL., NCL 18, 167 (1977).
We study the reactions π + p → π + p nπ 0 ( n = 2, 3) at 3.5 GeV/ c , with 940 and 143 events, respectively. Complete final states are recorded and measured in a heavy liquid bubble chamber. We find the cross sections: sigma;(π + p → π + p 2π 0 ) = 1300 ± 210 μ b , σ(π + p → π + p 3π 0 ) = 320 ± 70 μ b , below the values predicted by statistical models from charged pion data. The mass spectra are given and channel separations are performed using Van Hove variables. Our results are in agreement with charged pion experiments. We present a description of the 3 π 0 system, with 61 events. Under certain hypotheses a spin-parity analysis favours 0 − at low mass and 1 − at high mass.

We discuss the structure of the momentum transfer distributions for the diffractive dissociation processes p → n π + , p → Δ ++ π − and K − → K 890 ∗0 π − . In the near-threshold mass region a clear break of slope is found around t ′KK ∼ 0.25 GeV 2 for the two baryonic channels, whereas no comparable structure is seen for the mesonic system. The K → K ∗ π differential cross section exhibits a nearly exponential behaviour up to t ′ pp ∼ 0.6 GeV 2 , falling over three orders of magnitude. The slope variations and breaks are strongly correlated both to the mass region considered and to the decay angle of the fragmentation system.

The analysis of A2−→ηπ− at 11.2 GeV/c confirms that A2− is essentially produced by natural-parity exchange. In the differential cross-section as a function oft′ there is evidence of the dip at smallt′ values. The branching ratio (A2→ηπ)/(A2→ϱπ) is 0.18±0.05.

ROUGH BACKGROUND SUBTRACTION TO REMOVE NON-TRUE ETA EVENTS. FIRST THREE DENSITY MATRIX COMBINATIONS ARE NATURAL-PARITY EXCHANGE, THE REMAINDER BEING UNNATURAL-PARITY EXCHANGE.
We present a systematic analysis of the production of K ∗+ (892) and Δ ++ (1236) resonances in the K + p → K 0 p π + reaction at 5, 8.25 and 16 GeV/ c . We have measured total cross sections, differential cross sections, density matrix elements and examined resonance production mechanisms in terms of the exchange of states with definite naturality. Some results on the reaction K + p → K ∗+ (1420) p are also given.

We have observed an azimuthal asymmetry in inclusive hadron production by e+e− annihilation at the center-of-mass energy s=7.4 GeV. The asymmetry is caused by the polarization of the circulating beams in the storage ring and allows separate determination of the transverse and longitudinal structure functions. We find that transverse production dominates for x>0.2 where x is the scaling variable 2ps.

A partial-wave analysis has been performed of the diffractively produced low-mass ( K ̄ 0 π − π 0 ) system in the reaction K − p → ( K ̄ 0 π − π 0 ) p at 10 and 16 GeV/ c . Thus information complementary to that derived from the K − p → (K − π + π − )p) channel is obtained. The presence of the K ϱ decay mode, besides the dominant K ∗ (890)π mode, for the state J P = 1 + , is confirmed. It is also confirmed that for this 1 + state the assumption of factorization of the amplitude into “production” and “decay” does not hold: the two decay modes K ∗ π and K ϱ have different polarisation properties (helicity is approximately conserved in the t -channel for the first, in the s -channel for the second). The assumption that the ( K ̄ 0 π − π 0 ) system has isospin I = 1 2 has been tested and found to hold. From the cross sections for the various J P states, assuming I = 1 2 , the cross sections for the (K − π + π − ) system are predicted and compared with the experimental ones. In general, agreement is found.

The angular distribution of 2720 tracks of 1085 hadronic final states produced from (e+e-) annihilation has been studied in the 1.2 to 3.0 GeV total centre-of-mass energy range. If we parametrize the angular distribution in terms off(θ) =1 + A cos2 θ, where 6 is the angle between the hadronic track produced and the colliding-beam direction, the results show thatA is less than 0.21, with 90% confidence.
