The differential cross section for the process p+p→π++d was measured at 5.0 GeVc for a center-of-mass angle of 90°. The experiment was done on the Argonne ZGS with the same apparatus as was used in a recent 90° proton-proton elastic scattering experiment. The extracted proton beam of the ZGS was made to impinge upon a CH2 target. The pion and deuteron were detected by two spectrometers, each containing magnets and a scintillation-counter telescope, in coincidence. The incident beam flux was measured by a radiochemical analysis of the CH2 target. The 90° cross section at 5.0 GeVc was found to be 35±9 nb/sr.

The total cross sections σT of p, p¯, π±, and K± on hydrogen and deuterium have been measured between 6 and 22 GeVc at intervals of 2GeVc to an accuracy greater than previously reported. The method utilized was a conventional good-geometry transmission experiment with scintillation counters subtending various solid angles at targets of liquid H2 and D2. With the increase in statistical accuracy of the data, it was found that a previously adopted procedure of linearly extrapolating to zero solid angle the partial cross sections measured at finite solid angles was not a sufficiently accurate procedure from which to deduce σT. The particle-neutron cross sections are derived by applying the Glauber screening correction to the difference between the particle-deuteron and particle-proton cross sections. The cross sections σT(π+d) and σT(π−d) are equal at all measured momenta, which confirms the validity of charge symmetry up to 20GeVc. Results are presented showing the variation of cross sections with momentum; evidence is presented for a small but significant decrease in σT(pp) [and σT(pn)] in the momentum region above 12GeVc.
