K − p reactions have been studied at 13 different incident momenta between 1138 and 1434 MeV/ c . This interval corresponds to a mass of the K − p system varying from 1858 to 1993 MeV. About 300 000 photographs were taken in the 81 cm Saclay hydrogen bubble chamber exposed to a separated K − beam at the CERN proton-synchrotron. A total of about 44 000 events were analyzed, from which partial and differential cross sections were determined. Polarizations were obtained for the two-body reactions where the decay of the Λ or Σ hyperon allowed their measurement. Data for the two-body channels are presented here as well as for the main quasi-two-body reactions.

An accurate measurement of d σ d Ω (π − p → η n ) at 1531 MeV total energy (expanded) up to l = 4 Legendre polynomials) requires reconsideration of previous angular distribution fits which were expanded only up to l = 2 and of subsequent partial-wave analysis. An energy-dependent partial-wave analysis has been performed here for p η ∗ up to 450 MeV/ c . In addition to the well-known S 11 (1520 MeV) resonance, either the P 11 (1532 MeV) or the P 13 (1530 MeV) resonance is found to be strongly coupled to the η-n channel. In both cases, the P 11 (1729 MeV) resonance is needed as is the weakly coupled D 13 (1525 MeV) resonance. The decay states in the ηn channelare compared to the SU(3) and SU(6) W predictions.

The backward angular distributions obtained in an experiment at the Zero Gradient Synchrotron of Argonne National Laboratory were used to systematically study the energy dependence of the 180° differential cross section for π+p elastic scattering in the center-of-mass energy region from 2159 to 3487 MeV. At each of 38 incident pion momenta between 2.0 and 6.0 GeV/c, a focusing spectrometer and scintillation counter hodoscopes were used to obtain differential cross sections for typically five pion scattering angles from 141° to 173° in the laboratory. Values for dσdΩ at 180° were then obtained by extrapolation. A resonance model and an interference model were used to perform fits to the energy dependence of dσdΩ (180°). Both models led to good fits to our data and yielded values for the masses, widths, parities, and the product of spin and elasticity for the Δ(2200), Δ(2420), Δ(2850), and Δ(3230) resonances. Our data confirm the existence of the Δ(3230) and require the negative-parity Δ(2200).

Cross sections, differential cross sections, and hyperon polarization results are presented for the reactions K¯0p→Λπ+ and K¯0p→Σ0π+ in the momentum interval 1 to 12 GeV/c. Emphasis is placed on the comparison of Λ and Σ channels, and on the momentum dependences of the data. In particular, the Λ polarization data are consistent with being independent of energy above 2 GeV/c; and the slopes of the forward cross sections are found to increase toward the slope values for the line-reversed reactions πp→K(Λ,Σ) as energy increases.

The energy dependence of backward π+p elastic scattering has been measured for incident π momenta 2.0-6.0 GeV/c in steps of typically 100 MeV/c. Values are presented for both the differential cross section extrapolated to 180° and the slope of the backward peak as a function of momentum. In the s channel we see the effects of the established Δ++ resonances and evidence for the Δ(3230). Also, the data show the existence of a negative-parity Δ resonance with mass ∼2200 MeV/c2.

The differential cross sections for KL0p→KS0p scattering are presented in several momentum intervals between 1 and 10 GeVc. The data are strongly peaked in the forward direction, characteristic of a large s-channel helicity-nonflip scattering amplitude in this reaction, and a distinct break in the differential cross section occurs at |t|=0.3 GeV2. The phase of the forward scattering amplitude, φ, is consistent with being independent of momentum. The average value of the phase, φ=−133.9±4.0∘, corresponds to a Regge trajectory α(0)=0.49±0.05 in agreement with the canonical ρ, ω0 Regge intercept, α(0)∼0.5. However, this result disagrees with the Regge trajectory determined from the energy dependence of the forward cross section, α(0)=0.30±0.03, indicating a breaking of the Regge phase-energy relation. Comparisons of KL0p→KS0p and π−p→π0n scattering data reveal substantial differences in the energy dependence of the differential cross sections. Comparisons to KN charge-exchange data then suggest that direct-channel (absorption) effects may explain the differences in πN and KN channels.

Differential cross sections for center of mass scattering angles near 90° are presented for the reactions K ̄ ° p → π + Λ° , K ̄ ° p → π + Σ° and K L °p → K S °p in the momentum interval 1.0 to 7.5 GeV / c . The energy dependences of these cross sections are found to be equally well described by the parameterization: ( d σ d Ω ) 90° ∞ s −2 or ( d σ d Ω ) 90° ∞ exp (− bp ⊥ ) .

Backward scattering in the reaction KL0p→pKS0 is studied in the momentum interval 1.0 to 7.5 GeV/c. Comparison of KL0p→pKS0 and K+p→pK+ backward scattering, where respectively Σ exchange and Λ plus Σ exchange can contribute in the u channel, reveals that dσdΩ180°(KL0p→pKS0dσdΩ180°(K+p→pK+) above the resonance region. This result provides direct evidence for the dominance of the Λ contribution over the Σ contribution in the K+p→pK+ production amplitude.

We have measured the reaction γ+n→π0+n at a photon energy of 4 GeV for 0.2<~−t<~1.8(GeVc)2. The cross section is slightly less than that with protons as a target.
