In a study of the missing-mass spectrum near 1 GeV in the reaction π−+p→MM+n at three incident momenta near 2 GeV, we find no evidence for the recently reported narrow neutral mesons at 940, 963, and 1033 MeV.

We report observation of the S* meson in the reaction π−+p→S*+n. The S* decays into ππ and KK and is seen most clearly in the 2π0 channel. A fit to the data gives a sheet-II pole at 987±7−i(24±7) MeV and a relative coupling gS→KKgS→ππ of 3.8 ± 1.0.
AT AROUND K+ K- THRESHOLD.
A novel form of mass spectrometer has been used to measure the masses, widths, and cross sections of the η, ω, X0(958), and φ mesons near their respective thresholds in the reaction π−+p→missingmass+n. The incident momentum is varied in small steps through the threshold while neutrons of a given momentum are detected near zero degrees. The lower limit of the c.m. momentum P* at which measurements have been made ranges from about 50 MeV/c at the φ to about 30 MeV/c at the η. A somewhat low value for the ω mass, 782.3 ± 0.6 MeV, is found. The width of the X0 is < 1.9 MeV (95% confidence level). All four mesons show evidence of S-wave production, with values of σP* of 21.2 ± 1.8, 0.35 ± 0.03, and 0.29 ± 0.06 μb/(MeV/c) for the η, X0, and φ, respectively. A rapid rise in the ω cross section appears to be modified by a final-state interaction. The effect of this rise can probably be seen in some S11 pion-nucleon phase-shift solutions. Evidence is also presented of a sudden drop in the π+π− mass spectrum just above the threshold for the production of a K+K− pair. The paper includes a comprehensive discussion of the method and of the details of the spectrometer.
CROSS SECTIONS NEAR THRESHOLD.
Measurements are reported of the differential cross section for the reaction π−p→π−p,π0n,andηn at three angles close to 180° and for incident momenta in the range 0.6 to 1.0 GeV/c. The three measurements were made simultaneously at 1% intervals of beam momentum. The data on elastic scattering resolve a discrepancy between two earlier experiments. They also show clearly the effect of the opening of the ηn channel. The charge-exchange data show that I-spin bounds are not violated in the kinematic region covered. The ηn data can be adequately described with known s-channel resonances. No evidence for narrow N*'s is seen in any channel.

We report the observation of a spin 4 resonance from the analysis of the reaction π − p→ K + K − n. The mass and width of the h-meson were determined to be 2050 MeV and 225 MeV. The quantum numbers are J P = 4 + , C = +1 and very probably I G = 0 + .

We present evidence for δ production in the reactions K − p→ Σ (1385) + δ − ; δ − → η 0 π − , and K − p → Λδ + π − ; δ + → η 0 π + , in a bubble chamber experiment with beam momentum in the range 3.1 to 3.6 GeV/ c . The η 0 from the δ decay is seen both as a missing mass effect, and in its charged decay modes. The δ − has a mass of 989 ± 4 MeV, and width a of 16 −16 +25 MeV (after allowing for experimental resolution). The cross section for Σ(1385) − δ − production is 7±3 μ b; the reaction is produced at small momentum transfers. The mass and width of the δ + are consistent with those of the δ − , and the cross section for the Λ 0 π − δ + final state is about 5 μb. Neither δ appears to be produced as a result of D 0 decay.

The production of ψ(3.1) mesons is reported for the reactions π−+Fe→μ++μ−+anything, at 200 GeV, and p+Fe→μ++μ−+anything, at 240 GeV. For ψ production, distributions in x≡PLPbeam and P⊥ are given. For x>~0.5, the ratio of the ψ production cross sections in iron for pions to that for protons is found to be 7.4±2.0.

CDB=THESE DATA TO BE MULTIPLIED BY FACTOR 10.0.
Invariant mass spectrum of μ + μ − pairs produced by 70 GeV/ c protons in Be target are presented. Distinct enhancements in the mass regions of ϱ, ω mesons, φ meson and J/ψ particle are observed. For J/ψ production x and p ⊥ 2 distributions are given. The total cross section for the reaction p + Be → ( J ψ → μ + μ − ) + … is equal to 9.5 ± 2.5 nb/nucleus .
