Measurements of the target asymmetry T = ( σ ↑ − σ ↓)/( σ ↑ + σ ↓) for the reactions γ p → π + n and γ n → π − p at a fixed photon energy of 850 MeV and pion c.m. angles between 70° and 150° are reported. The data are compared to the previously measured angular distribution at 700 MeV.

Results are presented concerning K − d and K − n elastic scattering at an incident momentum of 4.5 GeV/ c . The high-energy Glauber formalism has been used in analyzing the data in which the nucleon scattering amplitudes are parameterized and employing the spherical and quadrupole deuteron form factors. An impulse approximation analysis of the K − n differential scattering cross section fitted to a single exponential of the form d σ /d t ) 0 e Bt , leads to the result (d σ /d t ) 0 = 21.3 + mn ; 5.5 mb/(GeV/ c ) 2 and B = 6.9 + mn ; 0.5 (GeV/ c ) −2 . A global fit has been made to existing K + mn; N two-body scattering data at this energy in order to determine the scattering amplitudes. It was found that the K − n and K − p elastic amplitudes are dominantly imaginary with a relatively small contribution from spin-flip amplitudes. The slopes of the differential elastic cross sections for K − n and K − p are nearly equal, as are those for K + n and K + p. However, the value of the slope for K + is smaller than that for K − at this energy.

We present experimental results on a number of K − p reactions at 14.3 GeV/ c that have three bodies in the final state. The final states are K − ω p , K − π p , Λπ + π − , Λ K + K − , Λp p , K ∗ − ω p , Λ(1520) K + K − and Λ(1520) p p . Whenever, with one exception explained by the Zweig rule, there is a K − or a proton in the final state, there is a diffractive-like threshold enhancement in the mass spectrum of the two recoiling particles. These enhancements account for a large fraction of the events in all but the Λπ + π − final state, where they cannot occur, and which is dominated by resonance production. We find evidence for the Q 1 (1300) decaying into K − ω .
THE DIFFRACTION DISSOCIATION CROSS SECTIONS ARE FOR DIFFRACTIVE THRESHOLD ENHANCEMENTS IN THE TWO-BODY MASS SPECTRA (WITHIN 500 MEV CM ENERGY OF THRESHOLD).

In π − p interactions at 9 GeV/ c and 12 GeV/ c , the forward production of N ∗ 1680 and N ∗ 1520 has been observed with features of nucleon exchange. The production of Δ1232 is strongly suppressed.

SLOPE ABOUT 6 GEV**-2 FOR SMALL U AND EVIDENCE FOR CHANGE OF SLOPE NEAR -U = 0.15 GEV**2.
From the study of the reaction π − p→p F p p π − using a fast proton (p F ) trigger device in the CERN Omega spectrometer, we find evidence for two narrow p p states produced mainly in association with a Δ° (1232) and a N° (1520). The statistical significance of each peak is greater than 6 standard deviations. Masses and natural widths of these resonances are respectively M = 2020 ± 3 MeV , Λ 1 = 24 ± 12 MeV and M 2 = 2204 ± 5 MeV, Λ 2 = 16 −16 +20 MeV. Our data are consistent with a small production of the narrow ∼ 1935 MeV resonance already reported. Production cross sections for these new p p resonances are given.

The four cross section components σ U , σ L , σ P and σ I were separated in the reaction γ V + p → π + + n at an electron four momentum transfer of Q 2 = 0.70 GeV 2 and an invariant hadronic mass of 2.19 GeV in the range of t between t min and −0.28 GeV 2 . The longitudinal cross section σ L dominates at small |t| and decreases rapidly with increasing |t|. The data are in rough agreement with the prediction of a generalized Born term model. The resulting value for the pion electromagnetic form factor is F π = 0.42 ± 0.015.

We present experimental results and a partial-wave analysis of the low-mass ( K π) 0 systems produced in the reactions K − p → K π N at 14.3 GeV/ c . The main results concern the production mechanisms of the K ∗ (890) and K ∗ (1420) . We also extract the s-wave component of the K π system as a function of mass.
THE ERRORS QUOTED (EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST REACTION) ARE MAINLY AN ESTIMATE OF THE SYSTEMATIC UNCERTAINTIES.

The polarization parameter P for the reactions p p → π − π + and p p → K − K + has been measured over essentially the full angular range at ll laboratory momenta between 1.0 and 2.2. GeV/ c , using a proton target polarized perpendicular to the scattering plane. The angles and momenta of both final state particles were determined from wire spark chambers, using the deflection caused by the polarized target magnet. Between 1000 and 5300 π − π + events, and 140 and 1300 K − K + events, were measured at each momentum. Differential cross sections for p p → π − π + were obtained. These are in excellent agreement with previous results. The polarization parameter for both channels is very close to +1 over much of the angular range. Legendre polynomial fits to the data are presented.
THE DIFFERENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS IN THIS EXPERIMENT AGREE WITH THE ONES FROM THE AUTHORS' EARLIER EXPERIMENT (E. EISENHANDLER ET AL., NP B96, 109(1975)) USING A LIQUID HYDROGEN TARGET, THOUGH THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THE PRESENT ONES QUITE AS RELIABLE.

Four angular distributions of the differential cross section of the reaction γ + p → π 0 + p have been measured at the Bonn 2.5 GeV Synchrotron at pion c.m. angles between 3° and 63° in the photon energy range from 0.9 GeV to 1.2 GeV. The π 0 mesons were detected by their two decay photons. The data are compared with data of other laboratories and predictions of two recent partial-wave analyses.
