A regeneration experiment exploring KS−KL interference in the decay modes KS,L→π+π− and KS,L→π±l∓ν (l=μ or e) has been performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory alternating-gradient synchrotron. The regeneration phases in carbon obtained from the time-dependent charge asymmetry of the Ke3 and Kμ3 modes are in good agreement and yield a combined result ϕf≡argi[f(0)−f(0)]=−40.9°±2.6° at the average K0 momentum of 7.5 GeV/c.

We have done a JP analysis of the low-mass π+ω system, using the reaction π+p→π+ωp at 7.1 GeV/c. We find that the B resonance cannot be JP=0− and must belong to the unnatural-parity series (1+, 2−, 3+,...), regardless of the amount of interference between the B and the background. If we assume that the B does not interfere with the background, we find that all JP states for the resonance are rejected except for 1+. Even if interference effects are allowed in the analysis, a good fit with reasonable parameters is obtained only with the 1+ hypothesis for the B meson. In an appendix, we give relevant theoretical formulas appropriate for a πω system with any number of spin-parity states and arbitrary degrees of interference among them.

We have studied K+π− elastic scattering in the reaction K+p→K+π−Δ++ at 12 GeVc and in the Kπ mass interval 800 to 1000 MeV. We have performed a partial-wave analysis in this Kπ mass region, dominated by the p-wave resonance K*(890), in order to obtain information about the s-wave amplitude. We have extrapolated the K+π− moments, the total cross section, and p-wave cross section to the pion pole. The p-wave cross section is close to the unitarity limit and can be described by a Breit-Wigner resonance form, with parameters M=896±2 MeV and Γ=47±3 MeV. We then perform an energy-independent phase-shift analysis of the extrapolated moments and total cross section using this Breit-Wigner form for the p wave and a previously determined small negative phase shift for the I=32s wave. For the I=12s-wave phase shift we find the so called "down" solution, which has a phase shift that rises slowly from 20° at M(Kπ)=800 MeV to 60° at M(Kπ)=1000 MeV. The energy dependence of this phase shift is well described by an effective range form, with a scattering length a01=−0.33±0.05 F. The so-called "up" solution is eliminated or has large χ2 everywhere except for two overlapping mass intervals at M(Kπ)=890 and 900 MeV. However, due to limited statistics, we expect two solutions for the s wave very near the mass where the p wave is resonant. We then perform an energy-dependent partial-wave analysis and find again no evidence for an s-wave resonance although, due to limited statistics, we could not exclude one at 890 MeV with Γ<7 MeV.

We present new data for the reaction K−p→Ξ−K+ at 3.9-, 4.6-, and 5.0-GeV/c incident momenta. We compare the behavior of K−p→Ξ−K+ with K+p→pK+ backward scattering using a simple model with Reggeized baryon exchange and SU(3).

The total cross section for photoproduction of hadrons on the deutron, σ T d , has been measured for photon energies in the range 0.265–40215 GeV. From this, using results for the photon total cross section, obtained previously with the same apparatus, the neutron total cross section has been determined in the resonance region. The resonant structure is found to be quite different from that for the proton. Thereafter the neutron cross section falls off steadily with energy, and the values obtained are consistently lower than those for the proton. Forward scattering amplitudes have been evaluated for the deuteron.

The total cross section of γ rays in hydrogen resulting in hadron production, σT, has been measured over the energy range 265-4215 MeV. A tagging system with narrow energy bins was employed. Structure in the resonance region followed by a steady fall with energy has been observed and the results are analyzed. The forward amplitude of γ-proton scattering is evaluated, and its behavior in the Argand diagram studied as a function of energy. The relationships of the measurements to Regge-pole theory and the vector-dominance model are detailed.
