We report measurements of the ratios K+π+, pπ+, K−π−, p¯π−, π−π+, K−K+, and p¯p for hadrons with 0.19<xt<0.62 produced in p−Be and p−W collisions at s=38.8 GeV. The K+π+ ratio at high xt gives the fragmentation-function ratio DuK+Duπ+ at high z. The high-xt K−π− ratio gives an upper limit for DdK−Ddπ− at high z. The pt dependence of pπ+ suggests that scattered constituent diquarks are the primary source of protons with pt<6 GeV/c. We also present species correlations in high-mass h+h− pairs. Strong K+K− and pp¯ correlations were observed.

Distributions of event shape variables obtained from 120600 hadronicZ decays measured with the DELPHI detector are compared to the predictions of QCD based event generators. Values of the strong coupling constant αs are derived as a function of the renormalization scale from a quantitative analysis of eight hadronic distributions. The final result, αs(MZ), is based on second order perturbation theory and uses two hadronization corrections, one computed with a parton shower model and the other with a QCD matrix element model.

The production of neutral pions has been studied in the 16 O+ 27 Al, 58 Ni, 208 Pb reactions at 95 MeV/nucleon. Inclusive pion differential distributions d σ d p t , d σ d T π , and d σ d Ω have been measured by detecting the two-pion decay γ-rays in a setup of 8 lead glass Cherenkov detector telescopes. The data are discussed in the framework of a moving thermal source model. It is shown that the shape of the pion energy spectra is better described if mean field effects on the primary pion-production cross section and pion reabsorption are included in the calculation.

Enhanced strange particle production, nonstatistical multiplicity fluctuations and two-pion Bose-Einstein correlations were measured in O, S-nucleus reactions at 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon. The results indicate significant collective effects in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.

Product of charged kaons in central S + S and O + Au collisions at 200 GeV/nucleon has been studied in the NA 35 Streamer Chamber experiment. Mean multiplicities and transverse mass distributions were obtained. They were compared with nucleon-nucleon data and with model predictions.

Mixed transverse(P T ) momentum and rapidity distributions of charged particles produced in 200 GeV/AMU heavy ion collisions are obtained with Magnetic-Interferometric-Emulsion-Chamber ( MAGIC ) by CERN-EMU05 experiments. The P T spectra at different rapidity regions showed no anomalous enhancement of low P T components over a conventional, single exponential function with slope values ranging from 160 to 200 MeV/c.
EVENTS SELECTED FOR THE ANALYSIS ARE THOSE WITH CHARGED MULTIPLICITY MORE THAN 400 FOR CENTRAL S+PB COLLISIONS.
We have measured the cross section for γγ production with the TOPAZ detector in the energy region √ s =50.0–61.4 GeV. The observed cross section for γγ production integrated over |cos θ | ⩽ 0.77 is 50.2±0.8±2.2 pb at 〈√ s 〉=57.6 GeV and the ratio of this value to the QED prediction is 1.01±0.02±0.04. The angular distribution is in good agreement with the QED predictions, thereby setting limits on the compositeness scales, Λ L+R + =168 GeV, Λ L+R − =97 GeV, Λ L,R =141 GeV, Λ L,R − =81 GeV, and Λ L−R ± =68 GeV, at the 95% confidence level. The reaction e + e − → γγγ was also studied and was found consistent with the QED prediction.

Analysing powers and differential cross sections for p p → π − π + and p p → K − K + have been measured over the full angular range using a polarised target at LEAR at 20 beam momenta from 360 to 1550 MeV/ c . Discrepancies in the normalisation of earlier d σ/ d Ω data at low momenta are clarified. Above 1000 MeV/ c , A 0N results confirm values close to +1 over most of the angular range for both reactions, in excellent agreement with earlier data of lower statistics. Below 1000 MeV/ c , where the analysing power is measured for the first time, large variations of A 0N with energy and angle are present.

Using the CELLO detector, we have measured cross sections for the processγγ→π+π− in the mass range 0.75–1.9 GeV/c2. A partial wave fit to the data indicates the presence of a sizeableS-wave amplitude with signs of resonant behaviour. Values for the γγ width of thef2(1270) are given, showing the model-dependence of this quantity. At higher dipion masses, the model of Brodsky and Lepage is found to give an order of magnitude description of the data.

The polarization of quasifree Λ hyperons produced by the (π+K+) reaction on C12 and on the deuteron was measured for the first time. The asymmetry of pions from weak decay of the Λ hyperon was used to determine the polarization. The polarization for the deuterium target was found to be consistent with that for the elementary n(π+,K+)Λ reaction. The polarization of the Λ produced by the quasifree process from C12 is consistent with that for the elementary reaction, which demonstrates that the spin characteristics of the elementary reaction are not modified by the nuclear medium.
