The transverse momentum distribution at 90° of pions, protons and antiprotons have been measured at the CERN intersecting storage rings for C.M. energies between 23.2 and 52.7 GeV. In this energy range, the pion and proton distributions are almost energy independent. The antiproton production rises by a factor of two between 23.2 and 52.7 GeV.
The invariant cross section was fitted by CONST*EXP(-SLOPE*PT).

A bubble-chamber study is presented of a 10 events/μb experiment using K − mesons of 4.25 GeV/ c incident momentum. Differential and total cross sections are determined for 7 different reactions: K − p → K 0 n ( la ), → π 0 Λ ( lb ), → ηΛ ( lc ), → η′Λ ( ld ), → π − Σ ( le ), → π + Σ − ( lf ), K + Ξ − ( lg ) . The experimental characteristics in d σ /d t of each reaction are described: (la) shows a levelling off at t = 0 (GeV/ c ) 2 , a break at t = −0.6 (GeV/ c ) 2 and no backward events, (lb) d σ /d t has a smooth behaviour and a measurable backward component with an indication of a dip at u = −0.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 , (1c) d σ /d t shows a dip in the region between t ≈ −0.2 and −0.4 (GeV/ c ) 2 , (ld) d σ /d t has a smooth behaviour; neither this reaction nor the preceding one shows a clear evidence for backward events, (le) d σ /d t has a break at t = −0.5 (GeV/ c ) 2 ; there is a significant cross section in the backward region; (lf) and (lg) show mainly backward production. The polarization of the hyperon is measured in the reactions (lb), (lc), (ld) and (le) in the forward production peak. The statistics do not allow the detection of a definite structure in the polarization but the sign and magnitude are determined. An interpretation of the results is given in terms of a dual Regge model, including the effects of absorption as elaborated recently by several authors.

Data on the inclusive production spectra of K S 0 and Λ from proton-proton collisions at 19 GeV are presented and discussed in connection with the earlier studied inclusive π − production spectrum. The three single-particle spectra are compared with a crude two-center thermal model for the average radiation from the pp collisions.

The neutron-proton elastic differential cross section has been measured with high statistics for incident momenta between 10 and 24 GeV/ c using wire spark chambers for the neutron detection. The t -range covered by previous experiments could thus be extended to 0.06–3 (GeV/ c ) 2 . In this t -interval the np cross section is found to be very similar to the corresponding pp cross section.

Pions from the reaction γ + p → π + + n were analysed in the backward direction by a magnetic spectrometer. The photon energy region of 0.394 GeV to 1.397 GeV was covered by 19 different momentum settings. Data reduction resulted in 74 measured differential cross sections with statistical uncertainties typically from 4% to 8%. The systematic uncertainty was estimated to be ±5%. The data are compared to other recent experiments and predictions of phenomenological analyses.

The differential cross sections for the reaction γ + n → π 0 + n have been measured at pions angles of 45°, 60°, 105°, 120° and 140° in the c.m.s. for photon energies of 500–900 MeV. Both π 0 meson and recoil neutron from a liquid deuterium target were detected with a pair of Čerenkov counters combined with lead spark chambers and a hodoscope consisting of 16 modules of plastic scintillation counters.
The target asymmetry T = ( σ ↑ − σ ↓)/( σ ↑ + σ ↓) for the reaction γ p → π + n has been measured at the Bonn 2.5 GeV electron synchrotron for a pion c.m. angle of 40° and γ energies between 0.5 and 2.2 GeV. Butanol was used as the target material. About 35% of the protons could be polarized using the dynamic-polarization method in a continuous-flow cryostat operating at 1°K and 25 kG. The π + mesons were detected in a magnetic-spectrometer system. Considerable structure in the asymmetry was observed.
Axis error includes +- 11/11 contribution.
The reaction γp→; π + π − p in the energy range 4.1 to 6.2 GeV has been studied with a tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target in the DESY one-meter streamer chamber. The reaction is analysed in terms of the longitudinal phase space (LPS) method. The one-pion-exchange model for Δ(1236) production and decay is examined. For the diffractive part of the LPS a dual model with pomeron exchange is investigated. In particular, the s -channel helicity conservation dual model of Dewey and Humpert describes the data well.

The ratio R = (d σ /d t )( γ d → ( π 0 n)p)/(d σ /d t )( γ d → ( π 0 p)n), was measured at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg at a mean photon energy of 4.0 GeV in the four-momentum transfer range between t = − 0.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 and t = − 1.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 in steps of approximately 0.08 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The ratio R is less than 1 up to t = − 0.9 (GeV/ c ) 2 and shows a broad minimum around t = − 0.6 (GeV/ c ) 2 . Corrections for nuclear effects in the deuterium were not applied but are shown to be small.
