We have analyzed the two-prong final states in π+p interactions at 3.9 GeVc. Our result for elastic scattering is σ (elastic) = 6.50±0.1 mb (statistical error only). We find the elastic slope to be 6.61±0.14 (GeVc)−2. We find the elastic forward cross section to be 40.0±1.4 mb(GeVc)2. We have applied a longitudinal-momentum analysis to the one-pion-production channel. We find the cross section for the reaction π++p→π++π0+p to be 2.30±0.06 mb and that for π++p→π++π++n to be 1.45±0.05 mb. For resonance-production cross sections in these channels we find Δ(1236)=0.60±0.07 mb, ρ(760)=0.86±0.06 mb, and diffraction dissociation = 1.69±0.11 mb. We find that we can satisfactorily fit all distributions in the one-pion-production channel without assuming any phase-space production. In the missing-mass channel we observe dominant Δ++(1236) production plus evidence for A2+ production.

We present results of an experiment to measure the differential cross section of the reaction π−p→π0n between the forward and backward peaks. The measurements were made at incident π− momenta of 3.67 and 4.83 GeVc. The t range 1.7<~|t|<~4.9 (GeVc)2 was covered at the lower momentum and 1.8<~|t|<~7 (GeVc)2 at the higher momentum. At the lower momentum the cross section is essentially constant between |t|=2.4 and 4.8 (GeVc)2 while at the higher momentum the angular distribution exhibits a broad minimum centered at |t|=4.4 (GeVc)2.

Photoproduction cross sections of charged pi mesons from hydrogen and deuterium have been measured as a function of meson angle at gamma-ray energies of 200, 235, and 265 Mev. The angular range extends from 30° to 180° in the laboratory system. Absolute cross sections have been determined. A least-squares fit of the measured cross sections has been made to the expression A+Bcosθ+Csin2θ, which assumes only S and P wave scattering. The coefficients so determined are qualitatively consistent with electric and magnetic dipole absorption together with the assumption of a resonant state of angular momentum 32 and of energy close to 300 Mev. Comparison with neutral meson production indicates some direct charged meson production in the P state.
