We have observed over 102 events of the type W→τν followed by τ→ hadrons, where the taus are identified by their decay into one or three charged particles. We measure the cross section times branching ratio for pp¯→W→τν and compare it to the value for W→eν to directly measure the ratio of weak coupling constants gτ/ge. We find gτ/ge=0.97±0.07, consistent with lepton universality.

We have used the Fermilab 30-in. bubble-chamber-hybrid spectrometer to study neutral-strange-particle production in the interactions of 200-GeV/c protons and π+ and K+ mesons with nuclei of gold, silver, and magnesium. Average multiplicities and inclusive cross sections for K0 and Λ are measured, and a power law is found to give a good description of their A dependence. The exponent characterizing the A dependence is consistent with being the same for K0 and Λ production, and also the same for proton and π+ beams. Average K0 and Λ multiplicities, as well as their ratio, have been measured as functions of the numbers of projectile collisions νp and secondary collisions νs in the nucleus, and indicate that rescattering contributes significantly to enhancement of Λ production but not to K0 production. The properties of events with multiple K0's or Λ's also corroborate this conclusion. K0 rapidities are in the central region and decrease gently with increasing νp, while Λ rapidities are in the target-fragmentation region and are independent of νp. K0 and Λ multiplicities increase with the rapidity loss of the projectile, but their rapidities do not.

Cross sections are presented for the inclusive production of Λ hyperons in electron-positron annihilations at s=29 GeV based on the full 291-pb−1 sample of data taken in the High Resolution Spectrometer experiment at the SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP. These results, and the associated correlation analyses, are consistent with the Lund model predictions with the strange diquark suppression ratio δ fixed at 0.59±0.10±0.18, as compared to the standard Lund value of 0.32. The Λ multiplicity has been found to be 0.182±0.020 per event. The opposite-strangeness multiplicity 〈nΛΛ¯〉 has been measured to be 0.046±0.020, whereas the like-strangeness multiplicity 〈nΛΛ+Λ¯Λ¯〉 is 0.009±0.028. A strong correlation is found between Λ's and Λ¯'s; when one is found in an event, the other is found in the same event with a probability that exceeds 50%.

The elementary ¯p-neutron amplitude has been obtained from Glauber's model analysis of ¯p-d elastic scattering data at 600 MeV/c, taking into account theD-state component of the deuteron. The results are compared with the ¯p-nucleus analysis and the ¯NN potential model predictions.

Antiproton induced fission probabilities of U238, Bi209, Pb208 and Au177 are reported together with the mass distribution of the fission fragments in the U238 and Bi209 cases. The charged particles multiplicities observed in co-incidence with fission have, also, been measured for U and Bi and are presented.

Distributions of event shape variables obtained from 120600 hadronicZ decays measured with the DELPHI detector are compared to the predictions of QCD based event generators. Values of the strong coupling constant αs are derived as a function of the renormalization scale from a quantitative analysis of eight hadronic distributions. The final result, αs(MZ), is based on second order perturbation theory and uses two hadronization corrections, one computed with a parton shower model and the other with a QCD matrix element model.

Differential cross sections for the neutral pion production reaction C12(p,π0)13Ng.s. have been measured at 153.5, 166.1, 186.0, and 204.0 MeV bombarding energy using recoil detection. The shape of the angular distribution agrees well with that of the mirror reaction C12(p,π+)13Cg.s.. Isospin invariance predicts for the ratio of the cross sections σ(p,π+)/σ(p,π0)=2. At 153.5, 166.1, and 186.0, MeV, where (p,π+) cross sections have been reported previously by other groups at the same reduced pion momentum η=pπ/mπc=0.34,0.55,0.78, the ratio of the total cross sections is 2.02±0.14, 3.14±0.12, and 2.12±0.16, respectively. The (p,π0) cross sections at 166 MeV is therefore 1.57±0.06 times larger than expected. For Tp<160 MeV, the experimental cross sections are larger than predicted by a phase space and Coulomb barrier penetration calculation that fits the higher-energy data. Differential cross sections were also obtained for the C12(p,π−)13O reaction, and upper limits set for differential cross sections for radiative capture to the ground state of N13.

Inclusive inelastic scattering spectra from C, Ca, Sn, and Pb were measured for 100-MeV pions at a number of angles. The observed ratios of the π− and π+ total inelastic cross sections for the different targets are explained in terms of a simple model which is based on the assumption that the scattered pion has interacted with only one nucleon. This model also accounts for the ratio between normal and charge-exchange scattering cross sections at 100 MeV.

The production of neutral pions has been studied in the 16 O+ 27 Al, 58 Ni, 208 Pb reactions at 95 MeV/nucleon. Inclusive pion differential distributions d σ d p t , d σ d T π , and d σ d Ω have been measured by detecting the two-pion decay γ-rays in a setup of 8 lead glass Cherenkov detector telescopes. The data are discussed in the framework of a moving thermal source model. It is shown that the shape of the pion energy spectra is better described if mean field effects on the primary pion-production cross section and pion reabsorption are included in the calculation.
