We have analysed about 85 000 fast Λ 0 events, obtained in a fast proton triggered experiment performed at the CERN-Ω spectrometer at 9 and 12 GeV/ c incident π − beam. Nearly 2500 Λ 0 K + π − events have been isolated. We find strong production of quasi-two-body processes Λ 0 K ∗0 and ∑ ∗− K + consistent with u -channel hyperon exchange. Results on Λ 0 polarization, K ∗0 decay parameters and differential cross sections are given for Λ 0 K ∗0 (892) and Λ 0 K ∗0 (1430) final states. A comparison is made with the associated backward Λ 0 (1520) K ∗0 production seen in the four-prong reaction π − p→pK − K + π − obtained in the same experiment.

EXPONENTIAL FIT TO DN/DU.
We have studied the backward production of ω 0 mesons in the u -channel I u = 1 2 exchange reaction π − p → N 0 (1680) ω 0 at 9 GeV/ c and 12 GeV/ c incident momenta. The data come from an experiment performed at the CERN Omega Spectrometer using a fast proton trigger device. The backward production of the η 0 meson has also been observed and the coupling constant ratio g η NN / g π NN has been estimated.

JACKSON FRAME (U-CHANNEL HELICITY SYSTEM).
We have analyzed backward meson production in the reaction π − p → p f π + π − π − at 9 GeV/ c and 12 GeV/ c incident π − momenta, from an experiment performed at the CERN Ω Spectrometer using a fast proton (p f ) trigger device. We find strong production of quasi-two-body processes N ∗ ϱ and N ∗ f with a production mechanism consistent with u -channel nucleon exchange. At a lower level, we observe N ∗ π processes with a 3-body baryon decay through Δ(1232)π. In the (3π) − system, we find evidence for A 1 − and clear A 2 − backward production with similar cross sections (≈0.5 μb).

Results on backward (3 π ) - system produced in π - p→p f π + π - π - reaction at 9 and 12 GeV/ c are given. The ϱ 0 π - mass spectra show two clear signals at 1050 MeV (A 1 region) and 1303 MeV (A - 2 ). The width of the enhancement in the A 1 region (195±32 MeV) is narrower than found in diffractive experiments. Total backward cross sections for those signals are of the same order of magnitude (∼0.5 μb).

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.

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 an experiment done with the CERN Omega spectrometer, triggered by a fast forward proton device, we present results on the differential cross section d σ d u for π − p backward elastic scattering. The d σ d u distribution agrees with an A e Bu law. The compilation of existing results shows a discrepancy between results but the ( d σ d u ) u=0 data fit perfectly an s 2 α 0 −2 dependence, as predicted by a single Δδ Regge trajectory exchange. A search for the reaction π − p → d p , with a fast forward deuteron, which can be produced by a double-baryon exchange mechanism, gives cross-section upper limits of ∼1% of the backward elastic cross section.

The production of η(550) and ω(780) mesons is studied in π ± p interactions at 16 GeV/ c and K − p interactions at 10 and 16 GeV/ c . Cross sections for exclusive channels are presented, and for the π + p data differential cross sections are given for quasi-inclusive production where the η or ω is required to be accompanied by charged particles only. Close similarities are observed between η, ω and also ϱ 0 (770) production in terms of longitudinal and transverse variables. By a rough estimate, the η, ω and ϱ 0 inclusive yields are found to be in the ratio 0.32 : 0.85 : 1, respectively, for 16 GeV/ c π + p collisions. For non-peripheral production we estimate this same ratio to be 0.34 : 0.9 : 1.
