The cross section for the production of Ξ + particles in K + p interactions at 12.7 GeV/ c is 10 ± 3 μ b; the Ξ − production cross section is 2.5 ± 1.0 μ b; the upper limit on Ω − or Ω + production is 0.4 μb. The Ξ − are produced preferentially in the backward direction in the CM system while the Ξ + are produced mainly forward. The mass and lifetime of the Ξ + agree with the accepted values for the Ξ − hyperon.
Cross sections have been corrected for the detection probability of all observed hyperons involved in these reactions.
The differential cross section for the reaction γ+p→π+n was measured at 19 photon energies between 300 and 750 MeV in the laboratory frame, for pion angles between 0° and 130° in the c.m. system. The pions were analyzed in angle and momentum with a magnetic spectrometer and detected by a counter telescope. The 0° measurements could be achieved, in spite of the excessive positron rate, owing to a mass-spectrometer arrangement. No direct indication for the electromagnetic excitation of the P11 resonance (1466 MeV) was found. Comparison is made with theoretical calculations of π+ photoproduction.

Two groups of measurements have been made on the elastic scattering of electrons by deuterium; in each case we observed the recoil deuteron instead of the scattered electron. In the first case the spectrometer was set at 45° so that magnetic scattering was unimportant (about 10%) and we deduced the electric form factors of the deuteron. In the second case deuterons were observed at 0°, allowing us to measure directly the magnetic form factor of the deuteron. Form factors of the neutron were deduced from these measurements for the transfer values q2=3, 4, and 5 (F−2). Preliminary results were given in a first paper. Here we also include a description of the experimental setup and discuss relativistic and exchange-current corrections.

A determination of the electric and magnetic form factors of the proton has been made by studying the elastic scattering of electrons from a polyethylene target by observation of the recoiling proton at 0° and 30° for values of q2 between 1 and 1.8 F−2. From these measurements we have deduced the charge radius Rc and the magnetic radius Rm of the proton and find equality within the experimental errors (Rc=0.800±0.025 F; Rm=0.810±0.029 F).
