In a scintillation-counter experiment, we have observed two narrow, neutral mesons in addition to the well-established η′ (958) in the reaction π−p→M0n at 2.4 GeVc. We observe a mass of 940.5 ± 1.7 MeV, Γ<10.4 MeV for the M0(940), and a mass of 962.9 ± 1.7 MeV, Γ<5.9 MeV for the δ0.

The differential cross-section for π+ photoproduction from hydrogen by γ-rays of laboratory energy 187 MeV has been measured at four angles. Two identical counter systems, designed to detect low energy pions unambiguosly in intense electron and γ-ray backgrounds, were used in conjunction with a cylindrical liquid hydrogen target, of very low boil-off rate. The cross-sections at laboratory angles of 39.2°, 66.7°, 111.6°, and 134° are 7.49±0.47, 8.10±0.57, 8.36±0.61 and 9.54±0.61, ·10−30cm2/sr, respectively, where the assigned errors refer only to the relative values. The absolute cross-sections are in substantial agreement with the dispersion theory and confirm the front to back asymmetry.
