The Λ-proton elastic scattering cross section has been measured between 1 and 17 GeV/c in a bubble chamber experiment. These are the first measurements of the elastic cross section for pΛ>5 GeV/c. The Λ's were produced by 25-GeV/c proton interactions in a platinum target. The cross section falls from 22 to 4 mb over the region. No significant polarization is observed.

Single-pion production has been studied in the reactions π−p→π−π+n and π−p→π−π0p at 790, 830, and 870 MeV. A total of 4193 events in these two channels, divided approximately equally between the three energies, have been identified. The most interesting feature of the data is the tendency for events to concentrate at high values of mππ and low values of four-momentum transfer. These effects are discussed in terms of conventional isobar models and a model involving two-pion exchange. Partial cross sections for the reactions studied are reported for each energy.

On the electron-positron storage ring VEPP-2M using the Cryogenic Magnetic Detector, the cross section of the e+e- -> π+π-π0 process was measured in the energy range 2x420-2x510 MeV. The energy dependence of the cross section is consistent with the predictions of the vector dominance model taking into account the interference of omega and phi mesons. The optimal value of the omega-phi interference phase is 136+-36+-10 degree.
