We report the analysis of the spatial energy distribution of data for e+e−→hadrons obtained with the MARK-J detector at PETRA. We define the quantity "oblateness" to describe the flat shape of the energy configuration and the three-jet structure which is unambiguously observed for the first time. Our data can be explained by quantum chromodynamic predictions for the production of quark-antiquark pairs accompanied by hard noncollinear gluons.

This paper presents production and decay characteristics of 500 high-mass, high-resolution μ+μ− pairs produced in π− Be collisions at 150 and 175 GeV/c. The data do not agree with a simple Drell-Yan production mechanism, but indicate that higher-order quantum-chromodynamic corrections must be included.

Results on the hadronic final state in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation at 13, 17 and 27.4 GeV are presented. There is no compelling evidence for the existence of the t quark in these data, which are in general agreement with a simple quark parton model. Some tentative indications of QCD effects are observed in the p/sub T//sup 2/ distributions.

We have measured the polarization of the Λ hyperon produced in the reaction π−p→K0Λ at 3 and 5 GeV/c, for four-momentum transfers t′ out to 1.6 GeV2, by observing the parity-violating decay Λ→pπ−. With an increase in statistical power by a factor of 3 to 4 over the best previous experiments in this energy range, we confirm earlier observations that the polarization is small and positive below t′=0.4 GeV2, becoming large and positive for larger values of t′. In particular, at 5 GeV/c for all t′ between 0.8 and 1.6 GeV2 the polarization is consistent with a value of - 1.

Backward production of ω (1670) is observed in the reactions K − p→ φ + φ − ω 0 Λ 0 and K − p→ φ + φ − φ 0 φ 0 for | U ' Λ |<1.0 GeV 2 . The cross section for the ω (1670) → φ + φ − ω 0 decay mode is 1.90±0.35 μ b for 8.25 GeV/ c incident K − . Evidence is presented for the importance of the sequential decay, ω (1670) → B φ → ωφφ with a branching ratio ω (1670) → B φ /all ω (1670) → ωφφ =1.0± 0.25 0.00 .

We report on the results of the study of e + e − collisions at the highest PETRA energy of √ s = 31.57 GeV, using the 4π sr, electromagnetic and calorimetric detector Mark J. Based on 88 hadron events, and an integrated luminosity of 243 nb −1 we obtain R = σ (e + e − → hadrons)/ σ (e + e − → μ + μ − ) = 4.0 ± 0.5 (statistical) ± 6 (systematic). The R value, the measured thrust distribution and average spherocity show no evidence for the production of new quark flavors.

Two (Δ(1238)ππ) enhancements at 1.93 and 2.12 GeV have been observed in an analysis of the invariant-mass spectra of Δ++(1238)π-π0 and Δ++(1238)π-π- from π-p→π-pπ+π-π0 events in 4.5 GeV/c π-p interactions. An enhancement at 2.2 GeV is also seen with a dominant branching to the Δ(1238)ρ system. The 1.93 and 2.12 enhancements seem to be produced mainly through a ρ-meson exchange process. The 2.2 GeV enhancement seems to be produced diffractively and is considered to correspond to theG17(2190) state.

The e + e − → p p cross section has been measured between 1925 and 2180 MeV. About 50 p p events were detected. The total cross section decreases from 1.31 ± 0.4 nb near 1937 MeV to 0.55 ± 0.2 nb near 2135 MeV. The proton form factors | G E | 2 and | G M | 2 , assumed identical, decrease from 0.15 ± 0.05 to 0.043 ± 0.015. They are an order of magnitude higher than predicted by the well-known dipole fit. The energy range has been scanned in steps of about 2 MeV. No significant structure was found in this p p sample.
