Production and decay properties of the B-meson are studied in the reactions π±p→B±p at 11 GeV/c. Values for mass, width, total and differential cross-sections and spin density matrix elements are given. The spin and parity, and the helicity states in the B→πω decay, are analysed.

We report on a study of 15-GeV/c π+p interactions of all topologies using the SLAC 82-in. hydrogen bubble chamber. A description is given of the automatic pattern-recognition techniques used to measure the events. Cross sections are given for meson-resonance production in all topologies. Evidence is presented for a new resonance decaying to five pions. A measurement is made of the branching ratios of the g meson. A study is made of low-mass enhancements in the diffractively produced ρπ, fπ, and gπ channels, and a search is made for nondiffractive production of the A1 meson.

The invariant mass spectrum of neutral final states produced in π − p charge-exchange scattering at 40 GeV/ c has been studied, searching for heavy particles decaying in 2γ. A peak is observed around 2.85 GeV/ c 2 . The cross section of the reaction π − p→X(2.85)+n, times the branching ratio of the X→2 γ decay, is measured to be σ × BR ⋍ 2 × 10 −34 cm 2 .

A partial-wave analysis has been performed on the (K − π − π + ) system produced in the reaction K − p → K − π − π + p at 10 and 16 GeV/ c . In the Q mass region it is found that the two dominant states, K ∗ π and Kπ, both in 1 + S wave, are produced with different polarisations, helicity being approximately conserved in the t -channel for K ∗ π and in the s -channel for Kπ. This is in contradiction with the assumption that the amplitude can be factorised into “production” and “decay” parts, and hence that the two amplitudes are fully coherent. The phase variation of the two states do not indicate simple resonance behaviour. It is concluded that the Q-mass enhancement is composite.

Evidence is presented for a new meson resonance at 2340±20 MeV, with a width of 180±60 MeV, decaying primarily into ρρπ. The resonance, which is observed in 15-GeV/c π+p interactions, has isotopic spin 1 or 2 and odd G parity. The cross section for production of the ρρπ state is 7.3±1.7 μb. Branching ratios into ρρπ and other decay modes are given.

In a sample of 108 563 pictures taken with the Fermilab 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber, exposed to a 360-GeV/c π− beam, we have observed 19 453 interactions in a selected fiducial region. The observed charged multiplicity distribution has been corrected for the effects of scan efficiency, errors in prong count, missed close-in vees, secondary interactions, and neutron stars and for Dalitz pairs. The two-prong events have been corrected for losses at low −t. The total cross section is measured to be 25.25 ± 0.35 mb, and the elastic cross section is 3.61 ± 0.11 mb with an exponential slope of (8.82 ± 0.30) (GeV/c)−2. The average charged-particle multiplicity for inelastic events is 8.73 ± 0.04, and the second moment f2 is measured to be 9.83 ± 0.23.

The reactions e + d → e ' + p S + p + π − and e + d → e ' + n S + n + π + were measured detecting electron and pion in coincidence at an invariant hadronic mass of 2.19 GeV. The measurements were performed at electron four-momentum transfer squared of f 2 = 0.70 and 1.35 GeV 2 in the range of t = ( γ v − π ) 2 between t min and −1.0 GeV 2 . The cross section d 2 σ / dtdφ of the reaction e + n → e' + p + π − was determined.

Single-pion production has been studied in the reactions π−p→π−π+n and π−p→π−π0p at 790, 830, and 870 MeV. A total of 4193 events in these two channels, divided approximately equally between the three energies, have been identified. The most interesting feature of the data is the tendency for events to concentrate at high values of mππ and low values of four-momentum transfer. These effects are discussed in terms of conventional isobar models and a model involving two-pion exchange. Partial cross sections for the reactions studied are reported for each energy.
