Transmission measurements in good and poor geometry have been performed at the Brookhaven Cosmotron to measure the total and absorption cross sections of several nuclei for neutrons in the Bev energy range. The neutrons are produced by bombarding a Be target with 2.2-Bev protons. The neutron detector requires the incident particle to pass an anticoincidence counter and produce in an aluminum radiator a charged particle that will traverse a fourfold scintillation telescope containing 6 in. of lead. Contribution of neutrons below 800 Mev are believed small. The angular distribution of neutrons from the target is sharply peaked forward with a half-width of 6°. The integral angular distributions of diffraction scattered neutrons from C, Cu, and Pb are measured by varying the detector geometry. The angular half-width of these distributions indicates a mean effective neutron energy of 1.4±0.2 Bev. The total cross sections σH and σD−σH are measured by attenuation differences in good geometry of CH2-C and D2O-H2O, with the result: σH=42.4±1.8 mb, σD−σH=42.2±1.8 mb. The cross sections of eight elements from Be to U are measured in good and poor geometry, and the following values of the total and absorption cross sections are deduced (in units of millibrans): Experimental errors are about 3 percent in σtotal and 5 percent in σabsorption. An interpretation of these cross sections is given in terms of optical model parameters for two extreme nuclear density distributions: uniform (radius R) and Gaussian [ρ=ρ0exp−(ra)2]. The absorption cross-section data are well fitted with R=1.28A13 or a=0.32+0.62A13 in units of 10−13 cm. A nuclear density distribution intermediate between uniform and Gaussian will make the present results consistent with the recent electromagnetic radii.

The differential cross section for π + p elastic scattering at 895, 945, 995 and 1040 MeV/ c has been measured in a hydrogen bubble chamber. The results are in good agreement with previous measurements using counter techniques except at extreme backward angles where significantly lower cross sections are obtained.

Cross sections are presented for the K + p interacttions with 2, 3, 4 and 5 particles in the final state for incident momenta between 2.1 and 2.7 GeV/c. The results are compared with those from other experiments at nearby momenta.
Axis error includes +- 0.0/0.0 contribution (?////).
Results are given from a study of 15 518 events of the reaction K + d → K + π − pp. The K + π − spin density matrix and the constraints imposed on it by positivity have been studied. Analyses of K + π − → K + π − elastic scattering have been carried out using methods developed by Estabrooks and Martin and Ochs and Wagner for the analogous case of ππ scattering. Results are found to be in agreement with earlier K π scattering studies using the reaction K + p → K + π − Δ ++ at much higher energies. The S-wave scattering length is found to be in agreement with the prediction of current algebra.

Proton and antiproton total cross sections on protons and deuterons have been measured at 50, 100, 150, and 200 GeV/c. The proton cross sections rise with increasing momentum. Antiproton cross sections fall with increasing momentum, but the rate of fall decreases between 50 and 150 GeV/c, and from 150 to 200 GeV/c there is little change in cross section.
