The reaction γ+p→π++n has been investigated for photon energies between 1.2 and 3 GeV and pion c.m. angles from 2.5 to 15°. The cross section is strongly peaked in the forward direction and shows resonance structure in the region of the N32*(1920) and N12*(2190).

Cross sections for the photoproduction of neutral pions have been measured at the 1.1-GeV Frascati electron synchrotron for bombarding photon energies k between 400 and 800 MeV and for π0 c.m. angles of θπ*=90∘, 120∘, and 135∘. The main feature of the experiment is good resolution in incident photon energy. The results are in good agreement with the existing theories in the energy range of 450 to 550 MeV. The cross sections exhibit a smooth behavior as a function of energy for k=400−600 MeV. No immediate evidence is found of a contribution of the P11 resonance. An anomaly at the limit of statistical significance appears for k≃700−740 MeV, indicating a possible structure of the so-called second resonance. We attempt to interpret the observed anomaly as a reflection of the sharp opening of the η production channel (η cusp effect).

The reactions π−p→π−p and π−p→π−π0p for 1.7 GeV/c incident π− have been studied, in 3094 and 2244 interactions respectively, identified from 10 106 two-prong events measured in film exposed at the BNL 20 in. hydrogen bubble chamber. The differential elastic-scattering cross-section is found to show a first and second diffraction peak and a first diffraction minimum with indications of a second minimum and onset of a third maximum. The experimental curve has been fitted by a black-dise optical-model formula with radius (0.80±0.03) fm and by a differential cross-section computed from the Dirac equation depending on two ranges, 0.7 fm attractive imaginary and 0.4 fm repulsive. The dominant mode (∼40%) of the π−π0p production is through the two-body channel, π−p→ϱ−p. We find the following cross-sections: σ(π−p→π−p mb, σ(π−p→π−p mb. The differential rhomeson production cross-section shows a diffraction peak having a dependence (dσ/dt)(π−p→ϱ−p)=[(2.5±0.2) exp [(−5.3±0.5)t]] mb/(GeV/c)2, wheret is the squared four0momentum transfer between incoming and outgoing proton in (GeV/c)2, and a second diffraction maximum. It has been fitted by an optical-model formula for a bright ring of radius 0.80 fm and ring thickness 0.25 fm. The cross-section for σ(π−p→π−p was found to be (0.36±0.04) mb. From the inelastic data the Chew-Low dipion scattering cross-section has been computed, using various form factors. A form factor of unity is found to be acceptable.

The cross sections for the two antiproton-proton annihilation-in-flight modes, ˉp + p → π+ + π- ˉp + p → k+ + k- were measured for fifteen laboratory antiproton beam momenta ranging from 0.72 to 2.62 GeV/c. No magnets were used to determine the charges in the final state. As a result, the angular distributions were obtained in the form [dσ/dΩ (ΘC.M.) + dσ/dΩ (π – ΘC.M.)] for 45 ≲ ΘC.M. ≲ 135°. A hodoscope-counter system was used to discriminate against events with final states having more than two particles and antiproton-proton elastic scattering events. One spark chamber was used to record the track of each of the two charged final particles. A total of about 40,000 pictures were taken. The events were analyzed by measuring the laboratory angle of the track in each chamber. The value of the square of the mass of the final particles was calculated for each event assuming the reaction ˉp + p → a pair of particles with equal masses. About 20,000 events were found to be either annihilation into π ±-pair or k ±-pair events. The two different charged meson pair modes were also distinctly separated. The average differential cross section of ˉp + p → π+ + π- varied from ~ 25 µb/sr at antiproton beam momentum 0.72 GeV/c (total energy in center-of-mass system, √s = 2.0 GeV) to ~ 2 µb/sr at beam momentum 2.62 GeV/c (√s = 2.64 GeV). The most striking feature in the angular distribution was a peak at ΘC.M. = 90° (cos ΘC.M. = 0) which increased with √s and reached a maximum at √s ~ 2.1 GeV (beam momentum ~ 1.1 GeV/c). Then it diminished and seemed to disappear completely at √s ~ 2.5 GeV (beam momentum ~ 2.13 GeV/c). A valley in the angular distribution occurred at cos ΘC.M. ≈ 0.4. The differential cross section then increased as cos ΘC.M. approached 1. The average differential cross section for ˉp + p → k+ + k- was about one third of that of the π±-pair mode throughout the energy range of this experiment. At the lower energies, the angular distribution, unlike that of the π±-pair mode, was quite isotropic. However, a peak at ΘC.M. = 90° seemed to develop at √s ~ 2.37 GeV (antiproton beam momentum ~ 1.82 GeV/c). No observable change was seen at that energy in the π±-pair cross section. The possible connection of these features with the observed meson resonances at 2.2 GeV and 2.38 GeV, and its implications, were discussed.

We measured the π0 photoproduction differential cross section at 180° for a range of incident photon energies between 650 and 1750 MeV. The cross sections are dominated by the D13(1525), D15(1688), and F37(1920) resonances.

We have studied the ratio R=[dσ(γd→π−pp)dt][dσ(γd→π+nn)dt]−1 at 8 and 16 GeV for momentum transfers |t| from about 0.001 to 1.3 GeV2. R is close to unity for |t|<mπ2, but falls very rapidly with increasing |t|, passing through ½ near |t|=0.1 GeV2 and having a minium value of about 13 near |t|=0.4 GeV2; it slowly increases at larger momentum transfers. These results are similar to those obtained in other laboratories at 3.4 and 5 GeV. This implies considerable interference between the isoscalar and isovector photon amplitudes.

The external beam of the 2.5 GeV-electron-synchrotron has been used to measre elastic electron proton scattering at four-momentum-transfers between 15 and 50 fm −2 . By combining these results with measurements at small angles at DESY, we have obtained the electric and magnetic form factors separately. Their ratio shows a deviation from the scaling law.

π ° photoproduction cross sections on proton have been measured at π° c.m. angles between 115° and 180° and between 700 MeV and 1150 MeV photon energies by detecting only the recoil proton. Our results show clearly a peak at 135° around 1000 MeV energies as predicted by Walker's partial wave analysis.
