Absence of discrete s-channel resonances in anti-p p interactions at intermediate energies

Fields, T. ; Cooper, W.A. ; Rhines, D.S. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 27 (1971) 1749-1752, 1971.
Inspire Record 75556 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21475

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.

Comparison of new data on anti-p p --> pi- pi+ and other two meson states at 2.3-gev/c

Fields, T. ; Cooper, W.A. ; Rhines, D.S. ; et al.

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.

Observation of the reaction pi- p ---> anti-p d from 4 to 6 gev/c

Differential cross sections have been measured for the reaction π−p→p¯d. At 4 GeV/c the total cross section is 0.58 ± 0.08 μb with an angular distribution consistent with isotropy. At 5 GeV/c a pronounced forward dip occurs. In contradiction to simple baryon-exchange models, the cross section is found to be an order of magnitude smaller than that for the line-reversed reaction pp→π+d. Upper limits for π−d→p¯t were also found.

Nucl.Phys.B 71 (1974) 189-210, 1974.
Inspire Record 80613 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.32346

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.

Systematic study of pi+- p, k+- p, p p, and anti-p p forward elastic scattering from 3 to 6 gev/c

Ambats, I. ; Ayres, D.S. ; Diebold, R. ; et al.

Inspire Record 92992 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.3409

Measurements of π±p, K±p, pp, and p¯p elastic scattering are presented for incident momenta of 3, 3.65, 5, and 6 GeVc and momentum transfers typically 0.03 to 1.8 GeV2. The angle and momentum of the scattered particle were measured with the Argonne Effective Mass Spectrometer for 300 000 events, yielding 930 cross-section values with an uncertainty in absolute normalization of ±4%. Only the K+ and proton data show any significant change in slope of the forward diffraction peak with incident momentum. The particle-antiparticle crossover positions are consistent with no energy dependence, average values being 0.14 ± 0.03, 0.190 ± 0.006, and 0.162 ± 0.004 GeV2 for π' s, K' s, and protons, respectively; these errors reflect both statistics and the ±1.5% uncertainty in particle-antiparticle relative normalization. Differences between particle and antiparticle cross sections isolate interference terms between amplitudes of opposite C parity in the t channel; these differences indicate that the imaginary part of the odd-C nonflip-helicity amplitude has a J0(r(−t)12) structure for −t<0.8 GeV2, as predicted by strong absorption models. The cross-section differences for K± and proton-antiproton are in qualitative agreement with the predictions of ω universality, the agreement improving with increasing energy. The corresponding quark-model predictions relating the π± and K± differences failed by more than a factor of 2. We have combined our π± cross sections with other data to better determine the πN amplitudes in a model-independent way; results of this analysis are presented.

Systematic Study of K+- Charge Exchange from 3-GeV/c to 6-GeV/c

Inspire Record 89016 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21284

Differential cross sections for K−p→K¯0n and K+n→K0p have been measured at 3, 4, and 6 GeV/c using a data sample of 6000 events. Contrary to simple exchange-degenerate models, the ratio of K+ to K− cross sections was found to be approximately 1.35, with little dependence on either s or t. Both reactions show a shallow dip near the forward direction, suggesting the importance of spin-flip amplitudes.

phi Meson Production in pi- p and K- p Interactions from 3-GeV/c to 6-GeV/c

Cross sections and density-matrix elements for π−p→ϕn have been measured for - −t≲1.5 GeV2 at 3, 4, 5, and 6 GeV/c, using the Argonne effective-mass spectrometer to observe the decay ϕ(1019)→K+K−. This is the first observation of the reaction in this energy range. The remarkably flat differential cross section at 4 GeV/c and the strong energy dependence suggest a production mechanism not normally seen at these energies. Data on K−p→ϕΛ and K−p→ϕΣ0 from the same experiment are also presented.

$\pi^{\pm} p$, $K^{\pm} p$, $pp$ and $p\bar{p}$ Elastic Scattering from 50-GeV/c to 175-GeV/c

The differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of π+, π−, K+, K−, p, and p¯ on protons have been measured in the t interval -0.04 to -0.75 GeV2 at five momenta: 50, 70, 100, 140, and 175 GeV/c. The t distributions have been parametrized by the quadratic exponential form dσdt=Aexp(B|t|+C|t|2) and the energy dependence has been described in terms of a single-pole Regge model. The pp and K+p diffraction peaks are found to shrink with α′∼0.20 and ∼0.15 GeV−2, respectively. The p¯p diffraction peak is antishrinking while π±p and K−p are relatively energy-independent. Total elastic cross sections are calculated by integrating the differential cross sections. The rapid decline in σel observed at low energies has stopped and all six reactions approach relatively constant values of σel. The ratio of σelσtot approaches a constant value for all six reactions by 100 GeV, consistent with the predictions of the geometric-scaling hypothesis. This ratio is ∼0.18 for pp and p¯p, and ∼0.12-0.14 for π±p and K±p. A crossover is observed between K+p and K−p scattering at |t|∼0.19 GeV2, and between pp and p¯p at |t|∼0.11 GeV2. Inversion of the cross sections into impact-parameter space shows that protons are quite transparent to mesons even in head-on collisions. The probability for a meson to pass through a proton head-on without interaction inelastically is ∼20% while it is only ∼6% for an incident proton or antiproton. Finally, the results are compared with various quark-model predictions.

Phi-Meson Production in the Reactions pi+- n --> K- K+ n at 6-GeV/c

Cohen, Daniel H. ; Ayres, D.S. ; Diebold, R. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 38 (1977) 269, 1977.
Inspire Record 110508 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21019

A sample of 1200 ϕ mesons produced in the Zweig-rule-forbidden reactions π±N→ϕN shows a flat t distribution (slope=1.7 ± 0.2 GeV−2) and a cross section suppressed by 0.0032±0.0004 relative to π−p→ωn. Natural-parity-exchange ω and ϕ production have similar t dependences, while ω and ϕ production by unnatural-parity exchange differ markedly. Interference between the ϕ and the underlying K¯K S wave indicates substantial nucleon-spin incoherence between the amplitudes for ϕ and S-wave production.

A bubble-chamber experiment based on 304 000 events of p¯p interactions at 2.32 GeV/c is described. The film was automatically scanned and measured by the POLLY II system. Details of the data-analysis methods are given. We report results on cross sections for constrained final states, tests of C invariance, and inclusive pion and ρ0 multiplicity parameters for annihilation final states.
