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.

p̄p total cross sections have been measured from 220 to 413 MeV/ c in small (⩽ 10 MeV/ c ) steps of momentum with statistics of ± 0.5 %. There is no evidence for structure in the cross section, and a limit of 8 mb MeV/ c 2 is set with 90% confidence on the strength of any narrow resonance down to 250 MeV/ c .
Data taken with long target.
Data taken with short target.
Measurements are reported of p̄p total cross sections from 388 to 599 MeV/ c in small momentum steps. Statistical errors are typically ±0.4%and the normalisation uncertainty is ±0.7%. There is no evidence for the “S-meson”.

The polarization parameter for K + n charge exchange scattering has been measured at five momenta between 0.851 GeV/ c and 1.351 GeV/ c for centre of mass angles −0.8 < cos θ ∗ < 0.8 . Results from a phase shift analysis incorporating these results are presented. No Z ∗ resonances are observed.

We confirm the existence of the two I G ( J PC ) = 0 + (0 ++ ) resonances f 0 (1370) and f 0 (1500) reported by us in earlier analyses. The analysis presented here couples the final states π 0 π 0 π 0 , π 0 π 0 η and π 0 ηη of p p annihilation at rest. It is based on a 3 × 3 K -matrix. We find masses and widths of M = (1390±30) MeV, Γ = (380±80) MeV; and M = (1500±10) MeV, Γ = (154 ± 30) MeV, respectively. The product branching ratios for the production and decay into π 0 π 0 and ηη of the f 0 (1500) are (1.27 ± 0.33) · 10 −3 and (0.60 ± 0.17) · 10 −3 , respectively.

The annihilation p p → Φγ has been investigated with the Crystal Barrel detector at LEAR for antiprotons stopped in liquid hydrogen. The observed branching ratio BR ( p p → Φγ = (1.7 ± 0.4) · 10 −5 is almost two orders of magnitude higher than expected from the OZI-rule. As a by-product, the branching ratios BR ( p p → K L K S ) = (9.0 ± 0.6) · 10 −4 and BR ( p p → Φπ 0 ) = (5.5 ± 0.7) · 10 −4 have been measured.

We have observed the ηπ + π − and ηπ 0 π 0 decay modes of the E meson in p p annihilation at rest into π + π − π 0 π 0 η . The mass and width of the E meson are 1409 ± 3 and 86 ± 10 MeV. The production and decay branching ratio is B( p p → Eππ)B(E → ηππ) = (3.3 ± 1.0) × 10 −3 . With a spin-parity analysis we determine that J P = 0 − . The observation of the ηπ 0 π 0 decay mode establishes that E is isoscalar ( C = +1). We find that E decays to η ( ππ ) s (where ( ππ ) s is an S-wave dipion) and πa 0 (980)(→ πη ) with a relative branching ratio of (78 ± 16) %. Using the K K π production and decay branching ratio measured earlier we determine that B[E → K K π] B[E → ηππ] = 0.61 ± 0.19 . A comparison with observations in radiative J Ψ decays suggests that E and ι η (1416) are identical.
Unobserved channels (E --> ETA 2PI0)2PI0 and (E --> ETA PI+ PI-)PI+PI- was taken into account.
Antiproton-proton annihilation into π 0 π 0 η has been studied with incident beam momenta of 0.6 to 1.94 GeV/c. The main aim is to look for resonances formed by p ̄ p and decaying into π 0 π 0 η . Resonances observed are: two 4 ++ resonances with mass and width (M, Γ ) at (2044, 208) MeV and (2320±30, 220±30) MeV; three 2 ++ resonances at (2020±50, 220±70) MeV, (2240±40, 170±50) MeV and (2370±50, 320±50) MeV; two 3 ++ resonances at (2000±40, 250±40) MeV and (2280±30, 210±30) MeV; a 1 ++ resonance at (2340±40, 340±40) MeV; and two 2 −+ resonances at (2040±40, 190±40) MeV and (2300±40, 270±40) MeV.

We present data on p ̄ p→3π 0 at nine p̄ momenta from 600 to 1940 MeV/c. This process is dominated by the f 2 (1270) π 0 channel, where we observe I =1 resonances with the following masses and widths: 4 ++ (2260±15), Γ =180±20 MeV, 4 ++ (2005±25), Γ =360±80 MeV, 3 ++ (2310±40), Γ =180 +120 −60 MeV, 3 ++ (2070±20), Γ =170±40 MeV, 2 ++ (2280±30), Γ =280±50 MeV, 2 ++ (2100 +10 −30 ), Γ =360 +40 −100 MeV, 1 ++ (2100±20), Γ =300 +30 −60 MeV, and 1 ++ (2340±40), Γ =230±70 MeV.
