In an experiment with the 1.5 m bubble chamber at the Rutherford Laboratory, the reaction K + d→K 0 pp has been studied at beam momenta of 2.2, 2.45 and 2.7 GeV/ c . The cross section for the reaction K + n→K 0 p has been estimated and found to be approximately twice that of the line-reversed reaction K − p → K 0 n at comparable energies. An SU(3) sum rule, due to Barger and Cline, has been tested and found not to be valid in this momentum range. The differential cross section for K + n→K 0 p has also been measured and a determination made of the imaginary to real ratio of the forward amplitude, using the optical theorem. Implications of these, and other results, for various Regge models are briefly discussed.

The reactions K + n → K + π + π − n, K + n → K 0 π + π − p and K + n → K + π − π 0 p have b investigated in a 3.8 event/μb K + d bubble chamber experiment with incident momenta of 2.2, 2.45 and 2.7 GeV/ c . Channel cross sections are given and the general characteristics of the production processes described. The isobar model is used in an attempt to determine the spin-parity structure of the final states.

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.
