Results are reported on the reaction p p → π + π + π − π − π 0 at six lab momenta spanning the region from 0.686 to 1.098 GeV/ c . The cross section for this process drops from 20.3 ± 1.2 mb at 0.686 GeV/ c to 13 1.0 mb at 1.098 GeV/ c . Resonance production is determined by means of a model which includes Bose symmetrization, Breit-Wigner amplitudes and Bose-Einstein correlations for the like-charged pion pairs in the nonresonant part of the amplitude. The likelihood fit to the resonance channels yields about 0.8% ηππ , 12% ϱ ± πππ , 2% f πππ , 8% ω ππ , 22% ϱ ± ϱ 0 π , 13% ωϱ 0 and 9% ω f with errors on the order of a few percent. Several percent A 1 ± ππ and X(1440) π were also needed to obtain good fits. The ϱ 0 πππ and ϱ 0 ϱ 0 π channels as well as A 2 ππ and A 1 0 ππ are consistent with zero. Reasonable fits to the mass distributions are obtained. Production angular distributions are found to be essentially uniform. The angular correlations between pion pairs are approximately fit by the simple model of resonance production with Bose symmetrization.
Axis error includes +- 0.0/0.0 contribution.
Approximately 100 000 four-prong antiproton annihilations in hydrogen were measured. A clean, unbiased sample of 842 K + K − π + π − events was obtained. This reaction is dominated by K ∗ (∼45%) and ϱ 0 (∼20%) production, with smaller amounts of A 2 0 (∼15%) and ϕ (∼5%) production. 25% of the reactions involved double resonance production. No significant three-body resonance production is observed.
ERRORS INCLUDE SYSTEMATICS.
Resilts are reported on the four-pion final state from antiproton annihilations in hydrogen in the vicinity of 940 MeV/ c . The cross section for π − π − π + π + is found to be 3.6 mb. Abundant resonance production is observed, with fits indicating that quasi-two-body production constitutes approximately half the four-pion events. The model employed, which includes resonance production and Bose symmetrization, yields excellent fits to mass distributions and angular correlations.
Total and differential cross sections are presented for proton-antiproton annihilation into π+π− and K+K− at six laboratory momenta between 686 and 1098 MeV/c. The two-pion final state displays moderate energy dependence in its differential cross section, but shows no evidence of any direct-channel resonances. In contrast, the two-kaon final state exhibits some behavior in the total and differential cross section suggestive of a possible direct-channel effect between 800 and 1000 MeV/c.

We discuss a measurement of the differential cross section for the reaction KLp→KSp for incident momenta between 5 and 10 GeV/c and the |t| region 0.025 to 0.5 (GeV/c)2, carried out using the SLAC 15-in. rapid-cycling hydrogen bubble chamber triggered by the K0 spectrometer facility. This hybrid detector allowed measurement of the KL beam momentum, measurement of the recoil-proton momentum, and measurement of the decay position and momentum of the KS. Over this momentum region the ratio of the real to imaginary part of the forward-scattering amplitude was determined to be 0.93±0.24 and the phase of the forward-scattering amplitude was determined to be -(138±7)°. A fit to the forward differential cross section of the form dσdt∝p2α(t)−2 to our data together with previous measurements of the KLp→KSp differential cross section at this and lower momenta yielded an α(0)=0.39±0.10 for the dominant ω Regge trajectory. The value of α(0) as determined from the phase φ=−π[α(0)+1]2 is 0.54±0.11.

We report the first observation of the associated production of a W boson and a Z boson. This result is based on 1.1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity from ppbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We observe 16 WZ candidates passing our event selection with an expected background of 2.7 +/- 0.4 events. A fit to the missing transverse energy distribution indicates an excess of events compared to the background expectation corresponding to a significance equivalent to six standard deviations. The measured cross section is sigma(ppbar -> WZ) = 5.0^{+1.8}_{-1.6} pb, consistent with the standard model expectation.
Measured cross section.
Observation of 16 μ + μ − pairs of invariant mass greater than 2.7 GeV/ c 2 in the reaction pp → μ + μ − + anything at s = 52 GeV at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) is reported. These events can be interpreted as originating from J(3.1) decay into μ + μ − . Their p T distribution suggests a hadronic production. The cross section for J production is given and compared to the cross section for single lepton production. We conclude that J(3.1) production cannot fully account for single lepton production.

We report results from Fermilab experiment E769 on the differential cross sections of D*± charm vector mesons with respect to Feynman-x (xF) and transverse momentum (PT), and on the atomic mass dependence of the production. The D* mesons were produced by a 250 GeV π beam on a target of Be, Al, Cu, and W foils. The dσdxF distribution is fit by the form ((1−xF)n) with n=3.5±0.3±0.1, the dσdPT2 distribution by exp(−b×PT2) with b=0.70±0.07±0.04 GeV−2, and the cross section A dependence by Aα with α=1.00±0.07±0.02. These results are compared to the equivalent parameters for the production of pseudoscalar D0 and D± charm mesons.

Results of fit to DSIG/DXL distribution of the form (1-XL)**POWER in the XL range 0.1 to 0.6.
We measure forward cross sections for production of D+, D0, Ds, D*+, and Λc in collisions of π±, K±, and p on a nuclear target. Production induced by different beam particles is found to be the same within statistics. Strange and baryonic final states are seen to contribute appreciably to the total charm cross section, which our measurements indicate is larger than but consistent with QCD predictions. The energy dependence mapped out by these and previous measurements is consistent with theory. Leading-particle asymmetry measurements for K and p-induced charm production are also presented.

We present a measurement of the polarization observed for bottomonium states produced in p-Cu collisions at sqrt(s)=38.8 GeV. The angular distribution of the decay dimuons of the Upsilon(1S) state show no polarization at small xF and pT but significant positive transverse production polarization for either pT > 1.8 GeV/c or for xF > 0.35. The Upsilon(2S+3S) unresolved states show a large transverse production polarization at all values of xF and pT measured. These observations are compared with an NRQCD calculation that predicts a transverse polarization in bottomonium production arising from quark-antiquark fusion and gluon-gluon fusion diagrams.
