We present results of a detailed analysis of inclusive direct photon production at the ψ(3095). The direct-photon momentum distribution for x>0.4 is presented and compared with the leading-order quantum-chromodynamic prediction. The total production rate is found to be consistent with theoretical expectations, but the observed momentum distribution is considerably softer. Results of an analysis of some inclusive properties of the hadronic system recoiling against the direct photon are presented. The mean charged-particle and Ks multiplicities are presented as functions of the invariant mass of the hadronic system. These data agree well with the corresponding mean multiplicities measured in e+e− annihilations at center-of-mass energies comparable to the invariant mass of the hadronic system.

Production of pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons has been studied in e + e − annihilations at 12 and 30 GeV centre of mass energy using time of flight techniques. The fractional yield of charged kaons and baryons appears to rise with outgoing particle momentum. At our highest energy at least 40% of e + e − annihilations into hadrons are estimated to contain baryons.

We have measured 618 K + p → π + K S 0 p events at 12.7 GeV/ c incident lab momentum, mass range 790 ⩽ m π + K s 0 ⩽ 990 MeV and t range 0.01 ⩽ − t ⩽ 0.60 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The π + K S 0 mass spectrum is dominated by the K ∗+ (892) resonance and a Breit-Wigner fit yields a mass m = 893.5 ± 1.1 MeV and a width Γ = 33.2 ± 4.1 MeV which is much narrower than measured hitherto. The t distribution of K ∗+ (892) events shows a dip in the forward direction and an exponential fall off thereafter, consistent with dominance of helicity flip amplitudes. The spin density matrix is almost saturated by ρ 11 and ρ 1−1 which are very close to their maximum allowed value of 1 2 throughout the measured t range except in the very forward direction where ρ 00 and Re ρ 10 deviate from zero. Natural parity exchanges, therefore, dominate with unnatural parity exchanges being restricted to a small region in the forward direction. A Regge pole analysis of the differential cross sections of the present measurement in conjunction with previously measured total cross sections supports the f-coupled-pomeron hypothesis.

We have observed high mass resonances with mass above 1.5 GeV in pp interactions at 405 GeV/ c . We obtain cross sections 13.2 ± 2.9, 5.1 ± 2.0, 2.5 ± 1.5 and 0.27 ± 0.18 mb for ϱ 0 , f, g 0 , and h meson production, respectively. The invariant x and p T 2 distributions for produced resonances are analysed. A relative comparison of the average 〈 p T 〉 distribution as a function of resonance masses with that for μ + μ − pair production shows remarkable similarity.
ONLY INCLUSIVE CROSS SECTIONS ARE GIVEN IN THE ORIGINAL PAPER. MULTIPLICITY VALUES ARE OBTAINED BY DIVIDING THE CORRESPONDING CROSS SECTION BY INELASTIC P P 32.0+-1.0 MB ONE ACCORDING TO PR D20, 37.
We have analysed about 85 000 fast Λ 0 events, obtained in a fast proton triggered experiment performed at the CERN-Ω spectrometer at 9 and 12 GeV/ c incident π − beam. Nearly 2500 Λ 0 K + π − events have been isolated. We find strong production of quasi-two-body processes Λ 0 K ∗0 and ∑ ∗− K + consistent with u -channel hyperon exchange. Results on Λ 0 polarization, K ∗0 decay parameters and differential cross sections are given for Λ 0 K ∗0 (892) and Λ 0 K ∗0 (1430) final states. A comparison is made with the associated backward Λ 0 (1520) K ∗0 production seen in the four-prong reaction π − p→pK − K + π − obtained in the same experiment.

EXPONENTIAL FIT TO DN/DU.
The total cross section fore+e− annihilation into hadrons for center of mass energies from 9.4 to 9.5 GeV has been measured with the nonmagnetic DESY-Heidelberg detector at DORIS. A value ofR=σhad/σµµ=3.8±0.7 for the continuum region around the Υ (9.46) resonance has been determined. The ratioΓeeΓhad/Γtot of electronic, hadronic and total widths has been reevaluated to be (1.00±0.23) keV for the Υ resonance and (0.37±0.16) keV for the Υ′. In addition, a search for directly produced pohotons from Υ decays of the type Υ→γ+gluon+gluon has been performed. The Υ decay into muon pairs has also been searched for.
TOTAL CROSS SECTION FOR THE CONTINUUM REGIONS AROUND THE UPSI(9460)0 AND UPSI(10020)0 RESONANCES.
With use of the LENA detector at the DORIS e+e− storage ring, the hadronic cross section and the μ-pair decay branching ratio of the ϒ(9.46) resonance have been measured. Γee=1.23±0.10 (±0.14) keV, Bμμ=[3.5±1.4 (±0.4)]%, and Γtot=35−10+25 ({+9}{−7}) keV have been obtained. The first set of errors gives the statistical uncertainty. The numbers in parentheses represent systematic errors arising from the uncertainty in the total hadronic cross section.

In this Letter, a measurement of inclusive muon production (pμ>2 GeV/c) in e+e− annihilation into hadrons at center-of-mass energies from s=12 to 31.6 GeV is reported. The results agree with the expected semileptonic decays from charmed and bottom mesons.

We present a study of the decay properties of charmed D mesons produced near the peak of the ψ′′(3770) resonance in e+e− annihilation. Branching fractions for nine Cabibbo-favored and three Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes are presented along with upper limits on one additional Cabibbo-favored and four additional Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes. A study of Kππ-decay-mode Dalitz plots reveals a large quasi-two-body pseudoscalar-vector component for the D0 decays and an apparent nonuniform population on the Dalitz plot for the D+ decay into K−π+π+. Using tagged events, we measure the charged-particle multiplicity and strange-particle content of D decays. A measurement of the D+ and D0 semileptonic decay fractions indicates that the D+ has a significantly longer lifetime than the D0.
INCLUSIVE CROSS SECTIONS UNCORRECTED FOR RADIATIVE EFFECTS.
As part of a study of large p T phenomena in photon-proton collisions at the CERN ISR, a search for direct single photon production has been performed. A statistical division of the data sample into the fraction consistent with single photon and the fraction due to multiphoton decays of neutral hadrons is accomplished by measuring the average conversion probability for the sample in a one radiation length thick converter. The fraction of the sample attributable to direct single photon production is 〈 γ /all〉 = 0.074 ± 0.012 for 6 GeV/ c < p T 10 GeV/ c , and 〈 γ /all〉 = 0.26 ± 0.04 for p T > 10 GeV/ c , with an additional systematic uncertainty of ±0.05 for both values.
