We report results from a study of π−p→ω0n at 6.0 GeV/c based on 28 000 events from a charged and neutral spectrometer. Background under the ω0 is only 7%, a large improvement over deuterium-bubble-chamber work. Density matrix elements, projected cross sections, and effective trajectories for natural and unnatural exchanges are presented.
Data are presented on the reactions π + n → ϱ 0 + X and K − p → K ∗0 + X at 6.0 and 7.3 GeV/ c , respectively. Comparisons are made between these two reactions and with other reactions involving inclusive vector meson production at different energies.
Results on K 0 and Λ production in p↑p interactions at 6 GeV are presented. The data are from an exposure of the Argonne 12 ft bubble chamber to a 60% transversely polarized proton beam. Results include data on Λ and K 0 inclusive production, and on the reactions p↑p → p Λ K + (p Σ 0 K + ). The beam asymmetry parameter for p ↑ p → K 0 ( K 0 ) + X is determined to be (−0.52 ± 0.12).
The missing mass spectrum opposite the proton in a 750 000 picture exposure, 13 GeV/ c π + p bubble chamber experiment, is investigated in two and four pion channels for structures observed or denied by boson spectrometers at the same energy in the reaction π − p→X − p.
A recent spin-parity analysis of the π + π + π − system formed opposite a proton and a coherent deuteron by incident 13 GeV/ c 2 π + mesons, is extended to a three-pion mass of 1.9 GeV/ c . Relative proportions of the contributing partial waves are presented, from threshold, and the A 3 region is discussed in detail. Contrary to results with the (3 π ) − system, a change in phase is noted for the 2 − amplitude decaying to f 0 π + via am S-wave.
Cross sections, differential cross sections, density matrix elements and statistical tensors are given for the reactions π + p → ( ϱ 0 , ω ) Δ ++ at 13.2 GeV/ c . A discussion of the results in terms of particle exchanges, quark model or dipole coupling constraints, and the equal phase hypothesis is presented in some detail for the high statistics ϱ 0 Δ ++ channel.
The ratio R of the differential cross sections for π - p→ η ′n and π - p → η n has been measured with high statistics and small systematic errors at 8.45 GeV/ c . R is generally interpreted as the relative content of nonstrange, ground-state quarks in η' and η. We find that R decreases with increasing ⋎ t ⋎; however, extrapolation to t =0 gives R (0) = 0.672 ± 0.032 (statistical) ± 0.47 (systematic) for the dominant spin flip cross sections, and R (0) = 0.500 ± 0.035 for the spin non-flip, in excellent agreement with results at higher energy. An improved value of the branching fraction ( η '→ γγ )/( η '→all) of 0.0200 ± 0.0018 is obtained.
We have observed the production of high-mass I=32 baryon resonances in π+p interactions at 13 GeV/c. The most prominent of these is found to be the F37 Δ(1950). It is produced by one-pion exchange and the data are well described by on-shell π+p phase shifts. Decays into pπ+ and pπ+π0 are observed and the Δ(1950) is found to have a mass 1.880 ± 0.010 GeV and width of 0.180 ± 0.030 GeV with a production cross section of 43 ± 4 μb.
The elastic and topological p¯p cross sections have been measured at 48.9 GeV/c in the Fermilab proportional-wire-chamber-30-in.-bubble-chamber hybrid spectrometer. The elastic cross section is 7.81±0.24 mb and the slope of the elastic differential cross section at t=0 is 13.4±0.8 GeV−2. Further, the moments of the inelastic topological-cross-section distribution are 〈nc〉=5.69±0.03, 〈nc〉D=2.10±0.02, and f2cc=1.67±0.12.
