The inclusive cross sections for prompt photon production by π− and π+ on protons have been measured with a beam momentum of 280 GeV/c using a fine grained electromagnetic calorimeter and the CERN Omega spectrometer. The transverse momentum and FeynmanxF ranges covered are 4.0<pT<7.0GeV/c and −0.45<xF<0.55 respectively. A quantitative comparison of the prompt photon cross section with next-to-leading order QCD predictions using Duke and Owens structure functions is performed.
Invariant cross section. UPDATE (03 DEC 2018): systematic error of 4th bin for PT = 4.37 GEV/C corrected from 13.5 to 13.2, slight corrections to PT weighted averages (4.11 -> 4.12, 4.36 -> 4.37, 4.61 -> 4.62, 5.72 -> 5.71, 6.37 -> 6.36).

We report a measurement of the charged K ∗ (892) production in e + e − annihilations at 29 GeV center-of-mass energy. The 300 pb −1 data sample used for this analysis is obtained with the High Resolution Spectrometer at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The total mean multiplicity is measured to be 〈n K ∗± (892) 〉=0.62±0.045±0.04 per hadronic event. Evidence is also given for the production of a charged K 2 ∗ (1430) tensor meson.

The inclusive cross sections for π0 production by π− and π+ on protons have been measured with a beam momentum of 280 GeV/c using a fine grained electromagnetic calorimeter and the CERN Omega spectrometer. The transverse momentum and FeynmanxF ranges covered are 4.0<pT<7.0 GeV/c and −0.45<xF<0.6 respectively. The data are compared with leading order QCD calculations.

The transverse energy cross-sectiondσ/dET has been measured in the pseudorapidity region 0.6<η<2.4 for hadron-lead collisions at 200 GeV/c incident hadron momentum. TheET distribution extends to 40 GeV, which is twice the kinematic limit forp-p collisions at the same incident beam momentum. The distribution ofET is found to shift towards low pseudorapidities with increasing total transverse energy.
Statistical error only.
Angular distributions of charge asymmetry A(Tπ,θ), have been measured for πd elastic scattering. Data were obtained in the backward hemisphere for pion bombarding energies of 143, 180, 220, and 256 MeV. The results are compared with predictions employing different mass and width parameters for the delta isobars.

We have studied high transverse momentum J/ψ production in p p interactions at s =630 GeV . The measured cross section times branching fraction for J/ψ→μ + μ − production with p T ⩾5 GeV / c and | y |<2.0 is 7.5±0.7±1.2 nb . The event topology is used to establish that there is J/ψ production from both the direct production of c c bound states and the decay of B hadrons. The inferred yield of J/ψ from beauty decays is compatible with our estimates of beauty production in other channels.

We report results of an inclusive measurement of the charmed baryon, Λ c , in the forward direction of proton-proton interactions with s =63 GeV . The signal, seen in the final state Λ s π + π + π − , has 6.0 σ significance with about 620 events on a large background and corresponds to a cross section times branching ratio of 2.84±0.50±0.72 μ b for Feynman- x F > 0.5 in both hemispheres. Asymmetries are observed in the decay angular distributions which are characteristic of weak decays and have a combined 3.0 σ significance.

The K − η effective mass spectrum in the reaction K − p→K − π + π − π 0 p at 11 GeV/ c has a prominent peak at ≈1.75 GeV/ c 2 , which is shown to be due to the K 3 ∗ (1780) by a spherical harmonic moments analysis and amplitude decomposition; there is no significant signal for K 2 ∗ (1430). The measured branching fractions for the leading L =1 and L =2 K ∗, s, [BF(K 2 ∗ (1430)→Kη) <0.45% at the 95% CL and BF ( K 3 ∗ (1780)→ Kη )=9.4±3.4%] confirm the SU(3) prediction that the Kη channel couples preferentially to odd spin K *, s.

The total cross section for the process of the e + e - annihilation into hadrons has been measured at the centre-of-mass energies of 50 GeV and 52 GeV and a search has been made for new heavy quarks. The ratios R = σ ( e + e - → hadrons )/ σ point ( e + e - → μ + μ - ) obtained are 4.4±0.5 at 50 GeV and 4.7±0.3 at 52 GeV, respectively. An additional systematic uncertainty is 10%. From the event shape analysis we found no evidence for a new quark with charge 2 3 e .
