n−p elastic differential cross sections in the charge-exchange region have been measured for incident neutron momenta between 600 and 2000 MeV/c. The momentum of neutrons incident on a liquid-H2 target was determined by a measurement of flight time over a 32.9-m flight path. The momentum and scattering angles of the recoil proton were measured by a wire-spark-chamber magnetic spectrometer. Approximately 450 000 elastic events were detected for proton laboratory angles between 0° and 62°. Differential cross sections are presented at 16 energies. An absolute normalization of the cross sections was achieved by measuring the incident neutron flux with a detector whose efficiency was determined experimentally.

We present results of measurements of the n−p total cross section between 30 and 280 GeV/c. The measurements were carried out with a neutron beam by using the standard transmission technique and a liquid-hydrogen target. A total-absorption calorimeter was used to determine the neutron energy. Our measurements, which have an accuracy of ∼1%, indicate a smooth rise of approximately 1.5 mb between 50 and 280 GeV/c. The combined n−p and p−p data above 20 GeV/c are well fitted by the expression σ=38.4+0.85|ln(s95)|1.47 mb.
MOST DATA TAKEN WITH 300 GEV/C INCIDENT PROTONS TO PRODUCE THE NEUTRON BEAM, WITH SOME ALSO USING 200 GEV/C PROTONS.
We have measured, as a function of transverse momentum (p⊥), the invariant cross section Edσd3p for the production of π±, K±, p, p¯, d, and d¯ in proton collisions with a tungsten (W) target at incident proton energies of 200, 300, and 400 GeV. The measurements were made in the region of 90° in the c.m. system of the incident proton and a single nucleon at rest. Measurements were also made with 300-GeV protons incident on Be, Ti, and W targets of equal interaction length. These p-nucleus measurements, which show a strong dependence on atomic number at high p⊥, were used to extract effective proton-nucleon cross sections by extrapolation to atomic number unity. At large values of the scaling variable x⊥=2p⊥s, where s is the square of the c.m. energy, the pion data are found to be well represented by the expression (s)−ne−ax⊥, with n=11.0±0.4 and a=36.0±0.4. x⊥<0.35, where similar measurements have been made at the CERN ISR, our data are in good agreement with the ISR data.

Targets made of C, Al, Cu, Pb, and U were exposed to π+, π−, and proton beams of 9.92 and 19.85 GeV/c (for p-Pb only) at the Brookhaven AGS. A magnetic spectrometer with spark chambers was used to detect elastically scattered particles in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region (5-35 mrad). Differential cross sections are presented and compared with an optical model, taking full account of multiple scattering in the target.

Forward differential cross sections for π − p elastic scattering at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 GeV/ c show that the square of the imaginary parts of the nuclear scattering agrees with the optical theorem prediction within ±3%, when averaged over the three momenta.

The final states\(\bar p\)pω and\(\Delta ^{ ++ } \bar \Delta ^{ -- } \pi ^0 \), produced in the reaction\(\bar p\)p →\(\bar p\)pπ+π−π0 (6435 events) at 5.7 GeV/c, are studied. Cross-sections are presented, and general features of the resonances produced are investigated. Spin alignment of the ω’s, reported earlier, is studied. An enhancement is observed in the ωp (ω\(\bar p\)) mass plot of mass (1810±15) MeV and width (87 ± 20) MeV.

We present the results of a formation experiment for the reaction K − p → Λπ 0 in the cms energy between 2200 and 2436 MeV with a total statistics of 10 eV/μb. A partial-wave analysis including these new data gives evidence for the existence of three resonances in the P 3 , D 5 and G 9 (or H 11 ) states in this mass region.

Inclusive proton production in pp interactions at 205 GeV/c is studied using the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) 30-in. bubble chamber. The invariant cross section is presented in terms of several kinematic variables and compared with similar data obtained from counter experiments at Fermilab and at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR). An important feature of this experiment is that it provides data for much wider ranges of the four-momentum transfer than have been attained in the counter experiments. It also gives full information on the associated charged-particle multiplicity of every event, thus permitting a detailed investigation of how various kinematic quantities depend on this parameter.

The differential cross section d σ d t′ for the charge-exchange process π + p → π 0 ( π + p) at 8, 16 and 23 GeV/ c is presented for several regions of the π + p effective mass. It is found that the dip at t ′ ≈ 0.6 (GeV/ c ) 2 which is observed in the Δ(1236) mass band becomes a less pronounced structure in the higher mass regions. However, while the slope of the d σ d t′ distributions in the near-forward direction decreases strongly with increasing π + p mass, there is no evidence that the observed structure moves to higher values of t ′ as the π + p mass increases. These results are consistent with a Regge-exchange picture where the position of the dip is determined by the exchanged trajectory, but are inconsistent with a simple geometrical picture.
