The ratio between the cross sections for the reactions π − p→ χ ↳ 2γ 0 n and π − p → η →2 γ n has been measured to be (2.4 ± 0.9) × 10 −2 , (2.1 ± 0.6) × 10 −2 and (2.8 ± 1.3) × 10 −2 at 3.8,6,8 and 12 GeV/ c incident momentum respectively.
ETAPRIME CROSS SECTIONS DEDUCED FROM THEIR RATIO TO ETA PRODUCTION, USING THE RESULTS OF O. GUISAN ET AL., PL 18, 200 (1965).
We report observation of the S* meson in the reaction π−+p→S*+n. The S* decays into ππ and KK and is seen most clearly in the 2π0 channel. A fit to the data gives a sheet-II pole at 987±7−i(24±7) MeV and a relative coupling gS→KKgS→ππ of 3.8 ± 1.0.
AT AROUND K+ K- THRESHOLD.
A novel form of mass spectrometer has been used to measure the masses, widths, and cross sections of the η, ω, X0(958), and φ mesons near their respective thresholds in the reaction π−+p→missingmass+n. The incident momentum is varied in small steps through the threshold while neutrons of a given momentum are detected near zero degrees. The lower limit of the c.m. momentum P* at which measurements have been made ranges from about 50 MeV/c at the φ to about 30 MeV/c at the η. A somewhat low value for the ω mass, 782.3 ± 0.6 MeV, is found. The width of the X0 is < 1.9 MeV (95% confidence level). All four mesons show evidence of S-wave production, with values of σP* of 21.2 ± 1.8, 0.35 ± 0.03, and 0.29 ± 0.06 μb/(MeV/c) for the η, X0, and φ, respectively. A rapid rise in the ω cross section appears to be modified by a final-state interaction. The effect of this rise can probably be seen in some S11 pion-nucleon phase-shift solutions. Evidence is also presented of a sudden drop in the π+π− mass spectrum just above the threshold for the production of a K+K− pair. The paper includes a comprehensive discussion of the method and of the details of the spectrometer.

We present an analysis, in the framework of the triple Regge model, of our recent experimental results on the reaction p+p→p+X between 50 and 400 GeV.
The cross sections is fitted in the framework of the triple Regge model. The symbols P and R in the (C=...) denote pomeron and reggeon, respectively. For fit I and II the authors used conventional trajectories alpha(P) = 1 +0.25*T, alpha(R) = 0.5 + T. Fit II is restricted to data with (1 - M(P=4)**2/S) > 0.84. In fit III they use alpha(R) = 0.2 + T for the RRP term. Fit IV is like fit I with additional fixed (pion pion P) term.
The cross sections is fitted in the farmework of the triple Regge model. The symbols P and R in teh (C=...) denote pomeron and reggeon, respectively. CONST(C=C) and SLOPE are from the replacement of the RRP term by the exponential one : CONST(C=C)*(SLOPE*(1-x)). See text for detail.
We have measured muon-proton deep inelastic scattering in the range 0.4<q2<3.6 (GeV/c)2. The data are consistent with muon-electron universality, and if the ratio ρ=νW2(μ−p)νW2(e−p) is fitted with the form ρ=N(1+q2Λ2)−2, we obtain N=0.997±0.043 and Λ−2=+0.006±0.016 (GeV/c)2. This result establishes that |Λ|>~5.1 GeV/c with 95% confidence.

Differential cross sections for electron scattering from hydrogen and deuterium in the deep-inelastic region show that the neutron cross section is significantly smaller than the proton cross section over a large part of the kinematic region studied. Although νW2d differs in magnitude from νW2p, it exhibits a similar scaling behavior.

We present new measurements of the differential cross sections for K − p → K 0 n at 3, 4, 5 and 6 GeV/ c , where we have 248, 538, 761, and 376 events, respectively. Total cross sections are obtained by integrating the differential cross sections. We combine our data with other data from 3 to 15.7 GeV/ c to calculate an effective Regge trajectory for this reaction. Comparisons are made to predictions from exchange degeneracy and SU(3) sum rules.

We have measured the Λ° polarization in π − p→ K°Λ° at 5 GeV / c , using a data sample of 3709 events. The polarization is positive for small t , passes through zero near t = −0.3 (GeV/ c ) 2 , and becomes large and negative at larger t , consistent with a value of −1.0 for t between −0.7 and −1.6(GeV/ c ) 2 .
THE AUTHORS FEEL THAT THE POLARIZATIONS > 1 IN ABSOLUTE VALUE ARE PROBABLY DUE TO STATISTICS RATHER THAN SYSTEMATIC ERRORS.
The slope b(s) of the forward diffraction peak of p−p elastic scattering has been measured in the momentum-transfer-squared range 0.005≲|t|≲0.09 (GeV/c)2 and at incident proton energies from 8 to 400 GeV. We find that b(s) increases with s, and in the interval 100≲s≲750 (GeV)2 it can be fitted by the form b(s)=b0+2α′lns with b0=8.23±0.27, α′=0.278±0.024 (GeV/c)−2.
MOMENTUM BINS ARE APPROX 20 GEV WIDE CENTRED AT THE GIVEN PLAB EXCEPT FOR THE 9 AND 12 GEV POINTS WHICH HAVE WIDTHS OF APPROX 1 AND 4 GEV RESPECTIVELY.
