Resonance production in the above reactions containing a proton in the final state is characterized primarily by the production of K ∗− (890). The events with a final state neutron are characterized by the production of either K ∗− (890) or Δ − (1236), but very little double resonance production. Cross sections are presented. Exponential slopes for the momentum-transfer distributions of the K ∗− (890) and Δ − (1236) were determined and found to be much smaller than for elastic scattering. For the π − π − p K 0 events the spin density matrix elements for the decay of the K ∗− (890) in the Jackson frame imply alignment. Single particle longitudinal momentum distributions and average values of transverse momentum are presented. The single particle production angular distributions of all three reactions were compared with the results of the Reggeized multiperipheral model of Chan, Loskiewicz, and Allison (CLA) modified to include resonance production. Good qualitative agreement was found. The data from the π − π − p K 0 events were also compared with a multiperipheral model of Plahte and Roberts that is based on the CLA and Veneziano models.

We have studied the proper time distribution of coherent π + π − decays from a 3 – 10 GeV/ c K L o beam incident on a one meter liquid hydrogen target using a wire spark chamber spectrometer in the 3 0 neutral beam at SLAC. We find ∣(ƒ(0) − ƒ (0))/k∣ = 0.43 ± 0.11 mb , φ(ƒ(0) − ƒ (0)) = -101 0 ± 42 0 .

An experiment designed to study the π−p total neutral cross section and its breakdown into several channels has been performed at eleven incident pion momenta ranging from 654 to 1247 MeV/c. Angular distributions for the charge exchange π0 and for η0 production are given in terms of Legendre-polynomial expansion coefficients. Forward and backward differential cross sections are presented for the charge-exchange channel and comparisons with recent dispersion-relation predictions for the forward cross section are made.
