The charged-particle multiplicity distribution in 205−GeVc proton-proton interactions is presented. In addition, the total diffractive contributions to each charged multiplicity are estimated assuming a factorizable Pomeron.
THE TOTAL CROSS SECTION NORMALIZATION COMES FROM THIS AND OTHER EXPERIMENTS.
Differential cross sections for dp elastic scattering from 60° to 175° center of momentum (c.m.) were measured at 3.43, 4.50, 5.75, and 6.60 GeVc incident deuteron momentum. The measurements were made with a two-arm magnetic spectrometer, making use of multiwire proportional chamber detectors. The deuterons were accelerated at the Bevatron of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Data are compared with predictions of the baryon-pickup model and the one-pion-exchange model. The backward dip at 180° c.m. for 4.5 GeVc, predicted by Craigie and Wilkin using the one-pion-exchange model, is not observed, but reasonable fits to the momentum variation and angular distributions are found. When the data are plotted against the variable Δ of the baryon-pickup model, the s dependence is greatly reduced.

From an exposure of the Argonne National Laboratory 12-foot bubble chamber to a beam of 12.4-GeV/c protons we have obtained a 3649-event sample of the reaction pp→γ+anything, where we observe photon conversions into e+e− pairs in the liquid hydrogen. We find that the invariant cross section for this reaction does not separate in its x and P⊥ dependence at our energy. By setting upper bounds on the cross sections for inclusive η and Σ0 production, we show that π0 decay is the dominant source of photons and therefore measure the cross section for inclusive π0 production to be σ(π0)=(31.5±2.6) mb. Comparison with the inclusive π+ and π− cross sections at 12.0 GeV/c shows that the relation 2σ(π0)=σ(π+)+σ(π−) is well satisfied. We confirm earlier indications that the average number of π0's per inelastic pp interaction is approximately independent of the number of associated charged particles produced.
Axis error includes +- 8/8 contribution (THE CROSS SECTION FOR NON-PI0 GAMMA PRODUCTION IS LESS THAN 2.3 MB AND HAS BEEN NEGLECTED IN OBTAINING THE 31.5+-2.6 MB CROSS SECTION FOR THE INCLUSIVE PI0 PRODUCTION).
The reaction e − + p → e − + p + π 0 has been studied in the region of the Δ (1236) resonance at a four-momentum transfer of the virtual photon of 0.3 (GeV/ c ) 2 . Angles and momenta of the secondary electron and of the outgoing proton were measured in coincidence to obtain the angular dependence of the differential cross section. The angular distribution for s- and p-waves of the pion in the πN cm-system was fitted to the cross section for three W -bins around the maximum of the resonance. The contribution of the resonant multipoles M 1+ , E 1+ and S 1+ to the cross section as well as the contribution of the background amplitudes M 1− , E 0+ and S 0+ are given.

The reaction γ d→d ππ , γ p→p ππ and γ n→n ππ were studied in the SLAC 82″ deuterium filled bubble chamber, exposed to a linearly polarized photon beam of 7.5 GeV. All three reactions are dominated by ϱ 0 production. The differential cross section has a slope of ∼6.5 GeV −2 for nucleon reactions and a slope of ∼27 GeV −2 for coherent deuteron reactions. The behaviour of the density matrix elements shows that ϱ production conserves s -channel c.m.s. helicity and is dominated by natural parity exchange.

Photoproduction of π + and π − on deuterium has been measured in the photon energy range from 240 to 400 MeV and for pion c.m. angles between 15° and 180°. The pions were analysed in angle and momentum by a magnetic spectrometer. From the measured π − / π + ratio, corrected for Coulomb interactions in the final state, differential cross sections of the reaction γ +n→ π − +p were calculated. Together with the π + photoproduction our data show no isotensor contribution. Comparison of our data with the recent experiments done on the inverse reaction shows no evidence of a violation of time reversal invariance. With the measured π + photoproduction on deuterium, a test of the spectator model has been made. Using the closure-approximation of Chew and Lewis our data agree within a range of ±10%.

The K − p reactions with final states Λπ 0 , Σ 0 π 0 , Λπ 0 π 0 , Λη and Σ 0 η have been studied at 14 momenta between 685 and 934 MeV/ c using optical spark chambers. The charged decay products of the Λ are detected by low mass spark chambers while γ-rays from π 0 and Σ 0 decays are detected in high mass chambers. Approximately 250 000 photographs were analysed from which partial and differential cross sections were determined. These results are presented with an energy dependent, single channel partial-wave analysis.

Total and partial γd, γp and γn reactions were studied in the SLAC 82 inch deuterium-filled bubble chamber, which was exposed to a linearly polarized photon beam at an energy of 7.5 GeV. We report total, topological and channel cross sections for these reactions. The γn average charge multiplicity was found to be one unit of charge less than the γp average charge multiplicity. The isoscolar-isovector interference term as calculated by comparing the γp charge symmetric reactions is found to be small.

The reaction e − + p → e − + p + η has been studied in the region of the S 11 (1535)-resonance by detecting the recoil proton in coincidence with the scattered electron. The reaction has been observed at three four-momentum transfers of the virtual photon: q 2 = 0.2, 0.28 and 0.4 (GeV/ c ). First results of the differential cross section measurements are given and compared with quark model calculations.

Results are reported based on a study of π − p interactions at 147 GeV/ c in the FERMILAB 30-inch Proportional Wire Hybrid Bubble Chamber System. We have measured the topological cross sections and separated two-prong elastic and inelastic channels. In addition, we have extracted leading particle cross sections using the increased momentum resolution of the downstream proportional wire chambers. We have compared our results with experiments and predictions of a simple fragmentation hyphothesis.
