The total cross section for γp→ηp near threshold has been measured using the PHOENICS tagging system at the ELSA electron facility of the Physikalisches Institut der Universität Bonn. The photons are created by bremsstrahlung, and are tagged by measuring the momentum of each electron after the photon has been emitted. The recoil proton from γp→ηp is detected by the AMADEUS counter setup in coincidence with the tagging system. Data were taken with AMADEUS at 3.3° in the laboratory, where the large Jacobian increases our event rate so that we obtain the cross section from threshold (Eγ=707.2 MeV) to Eγ≃720 MeV with adequate statistics. The γp→ηp events are identified by kinematics, dE/dx, and timing information. We find that in our energy region the production cross section is consistent with S-wave production.

Pion-induced double charge exchange (π+,π−) on Se76,78,80,82, leading to the double isobaric analog states (DIAS) and the ground states of Kr76,78,80,82, has been studied at a laboratory angle of 50 and incident pion kinetic energy of 293.2 MeV. Cross sections for these transitions have been extracted, and those for the DIAS are compared to two simple models of pion double charge exchange.

The polarization transfer κ 0 and the tensor analyzing power T 20 for the 1 H d p)d reaction have been measured up to an internal momentum of k = 0.58 GeV/c. Comparison of the same observables obtained in recent studies for 1 H d p)d reaction, as a function of k , show different behavior. However the data from these two reactions are almost identical when compared in T 20 versus κ 0 correlation plots. We discuss similarities and differences observed in the two reactions.
The authors use the Infinite Momentum Frame variable K= M( proton) * sqrt(1/(4*a*(1-a)) - 1), where a = (E(proton)+P_long(proton))/(E(deut)+P(deut)).
The annihilation p p → Φγ has been investigated with the Crystal Barrel detector at LEAR for antiprotons stopped in liquid hydrogen. The observed branching ratio BR ( p p → Φγ = (1.7 ± 0.4) · 10 −5 is almost two orders of magnitude higher than expected from the OZI-rule. As a by-product, the branching ratios BR ( p p → K L K S ) = (9.0 ± 0.6) · 10 −4 and BR ( p p → Φπ 0 ) = (5.5 ± 0.7) · 10 −4 have been measured.

The single spin asymmetry for inclusive direct-photon production has been measured using a polarized proton beam of 200 GeV/c with an unpolarized proton target at −0.15 < xf < 0.15 and 2.5 < pt < 3.1 GeV/c at Fermilab. The data on the cross section for pp → γX at 2.5 < pt < 3.8 GeV/c are also provided. The measurement was done using lead-glass calorimeters and photon detectors which surrounded the fiducial area of the calorimeters. Background rejection has been done using these surrounding photon detectors. The cross section obtained is consistent with the results of previous measurements assuming a nuclear dependence of A 1.0 . The single spin asymmetry, A N , for the direct-photon production is consistent with zero within experimental uncertainty.

The abundances of light nuclei probe the later stages of the evolution of a system formed in a relativistic heavy-ion collision. After the system has cooled and expanded, nucleons in close proximity and moving with small relative momenta coalesce to form nuclei. Light nuclei production enables the study of several topics, including the mechanism of composite particle production, freeze-out temperature, size of the interaction region, and entropy of the system. NA44 is the only relativistic heavy-ion experiment to have both deuteron and antideuteron results in both pA and AA collisions and the first CERN experiment to study the physics topics addressed by d and d production.
PRELIMINARY DATA.
The measurement of different reactions of p d annihilation at rest in a gaseous target has been performed using the OBELIX spectrometer at LEAR (CERN). A strong deviation from the OZI-rule prediction was found from the measurement of the ratio R = φπ ωπ in two regions of proton momenta, P < 200 MeV/ c and P > 400 MeV/ c : R( φπ − ωπ − ) = (133 ± 26) × 10 −3 and (113 ± 30) × 10 −3 , respectively. These values are about 30 times greater than the theoretical prediction. For the first time the excitation of the †-resonance was observed among the final-state products of p d annihilation. The existence of a broad enhancement in the 4π invariant mass at m ≈ 1480 MeV, seen in previous experiments, was confirmed. A ≈ 100 MeV downward shift of the bump position, when the proton momentum increased up to P > 400 MeV/ c , was also observed, while the positions of ω, ϱ and f 2 (1270) did not change with the proton momentum. The following branching ratios were measured: BR( p d → π − φ p ) = (6.62 ± 0.49) × 10 −4 , for P < 200 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → π − φ p ) = (0.95 ± 0.22) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → π − ω p ) = (49.7 ± 8.9) × 10 −4 , for P < 200 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → π − ω p ) = (8.38 ± 1.09) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → 2π − π + p ) = (150 ± 6) × 10 −4 , for P < 200 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → 2π − π + p ) = (16.6 ± 0.9) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → 3π − 2π + p ) = (326 ± 12) × 10 −4 , for P < 200 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → 3π − 2π + p ) = (44 ± 7) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → Λ K + π − ) = (0.96 ± 0.19) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → Λ K + π − π 0 ) = (3.5 ± 0.8) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p p → 2π − 2π + ) = (540 ± 20) × 10 −4 ; BR( p p → 3π − 3π + ) = (251 ± 21) × 10 −4 .

The shower particles multiplicity distribution produced in 60A GeV16O-Em collisions is studied in the framework of an extended Glauber model in which terms higher than the first (optical limit) in the phase shift expansion are considered. These are the so-called eclipse correction terms. The calculated distribution shows satisfactory agreement with the present experimental data.

We present the basic characteristics of singly, doubly and heavily charged fragments of the incident nucleus in inelastic interactions of relativistic24Mg nuclei in nuclear emulsion. The relationship between the charge of the incident projectile nuclei and those of the projectile fragments is studied. The result reflects the importance of the charge of the incident projectiles and consequently the electromagnetic interactions in the fragmentation processes.
