We have measured the inclusive prompt electron cross section over a wide momentum range (P>0.5 GeV/c) with the PEP-4 TPC detector. The semielectronic branching fractions of thec andb quarks are (9.1±0.9 (stat.)±1.3 (syst.))% and (11.0±1.8±1.0)%, respectively. Theb quark fragmentation function peaks at highz with 〈zb〉=0.74±0.05±0.03. The axial couplings to the neutral current areac=2.3±1.4±1.0 for thec quark andab=−2.0±1.9±0.5 for theb quark.

Results on moments of the azimuthal angle ϕ of final state hadrons from 120 GeV and 280 GeV μp scattering are presented. A ϕ asymmetry is observed and its W 2 , Q 2 , z and p T dependences compared with model calculations which include intrinsic transverse momentum and first order QCD corrections. These studies indicate that the observed asymmetry is mainly due to intrinsic transverse momentum k T .

Using the data on deep inelastic muon scattering on iron and deuterium the ratio of the nucleon structure functions F 2 N ( Fe )/ F 2 N ( D ) is presented. The observed x -dependence of this ratio is in disagreement with existing theoretical predictions.

The production of K 0 s, Λs and Λ s has been studied in a 280 GeV muon-proton scattering experiment with almost complete coverage of all kinematic regions. A study is made of the dependence of the multiplicities on the hadronic centre of mass energy, W , and of the Feynman x distributions. It is found that K 0 and Λ production is mostly central and increases strongly with W , whereas Λ production comes mainly from the remnant target system and is only weakly W dependent.

In a search for optical rotation near the 8755-Å magnetic-dipole absorption line in atomic Bi, our first results set an upper limit F<10−6 on a parity nonconserving amplitude associated with the line. This limit improves upon earlier parity tests in atoms by three orders of magnitude. Further improvement of at least another order of magnitude appears possible by this method which should then provide an exacting test of parity conservation in the neutral weak-current interaction in atoms.

We have studied K+π− elastic scattering in the reaction K+p→K+π−Δ++ at 12 GeVc and in the Kπ mass interval 800 to 1000 MeV. We have performed a partial-wave analysis in this Kπ mass region, dominated by the p-wave resonance K*(890), in order to obtain information about the s-wave amplitude. We have extrapolated the K+π− moments, the total cross section, and p-wave cross section to the pion pole. The p-wave cross section is close to the unitarity limit and can be described by a Breit-Wigner resonance form, with parameters M=896±2 MeV and Γ=47±3 MeV. We then perform an energy-independent phase-shift analysis of the extrapolated moments and total cross section using this Breit-Wigner form for the p wave and a previously determined small negative phase shift for the I=32s wave. For the I=12s-wave phase shift we find the so called "down" solution, which has a phase shift that rises slowly from 20° at M(Kπ)=800 MeV to 60° at M(Kπ)=1000 MeV. The energy dependence of this phase shift is well described by an effective range form, with a scattering length a01=−0.33±0.05 F. The so-called "up" solution is eliminated or has large χ2 everywhere except for two overlapping mass intervals at M(Kπ)=890 and 900 MeV. However, due to limited statistics, we expect two solutions for the s wave very near the mass where the p wave is resonant. We then perform an energy-dependent partial-wave analysis and find again no evidence for an s-wave resonance although, due to limited statistics, we could not exclude one at 890 MeV with Γ<7 MeV.

The total cross section of γ rays in hydrogen resulting in hadron production, σT, has been measured over the energy range 265-4215 MeV. A tagging system with narrow energy bins was employed. Structure in the resonance region followed by a steady fall with energy has been observed and the results are analyzed. The forward amplitude of γ-proton scattering is evaluated, and its behavior in the Argand diagram studied as a function of energy. The relationships of the measurements to Regge-pole theory and the vector-dominance model are detailed.

SPIN AVERAGED FORWARD COMPTON SCATTERING AMPLITUDE. IM(AMP) WAS CALCULATED VIA THE OPTICAL THEOREM FROM A SMOOTH FIT TO THE DATA, AND USED IN THE DISPERSION RELATION TO CALCULATE RE(AMP). AT THRESHOLD THE THOMSON AMPLITUDE IS -3.0 MUB*GEV.
We report measurements of the two-photon processes e+e−→e+e−π+π− and e+e−→e+e−K+K−, at an e+e− center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV. In the π+π− data a high-statistics analysis of the f(1270) results in a γγ width Γ(γγ→f)=3.2±0.4 keV. The π+π− continuum below the f mass is well described by a QED Born approximation, whereas above the f mass it is consistent with a QCD-model calculation if a large contribution from the f is assumed. For the K+K− data we find agreement of the high-mass continuum with the QCD prediction; limits on f′(1520) and θ(1720) formation are presented.

Parity-nonconserving optical rotation has been observed and measured on the 8757-ÅA magnetic-dipole absorption line in atomic bismuth vapor. The result, R≡Im(E1M1)=(−10.4±1.7)×10−8, is of the approximate size calculated with use of the Weinberg-Salam theory of the weak neutral-current interaction with sin2θW=0.23.
