Using the CLEO~II detector, we have measured the differential cross sections for exclusive two-photon production of light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta^{\prime}$. From our measurements we have obtained the form factors associated with the electromagnetic transitions $\gamma^*\gamma$ $\to$ meson. We have measured these form factors in the momentum transfer ranges from 1.5 to 9, 20, and 30 GeV$^2$ for $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta^{\prime}$, respectively, and have made comparisons to various theoretical predictions.

The results of the study of the π + p→K + ∑ + (1) and π + p→K + ∑ + (1385) (2) reactions at 12 GeV/ c are presented. The differential cross sections d σ /d t in| t min |<| t |<0.8 (GeV/ c ) 2 momentum transfer range are measured. The ∑ + polarisation for | t |<0.5 (GeV/ c ) 2 for reaction (1) is defined. Binary reactions (1) and (2) were selected by analyzing the missing mass spectra for the forward emitted fast K + meson. The total cross sections in the studied momentum transfer range are 20.2±2.4 μ b and 7.3±1.1 μ b for the reactions (1) and (2) respectively. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the Regge models which take into account rescattering and secondary singularities.

Results are presented on vector meson production in the hypercharge exchange reactions: π + p → K ∗+ (890) Y + and K − p→ ρ − Y + where Y + is either Σ + or Y ∗+ (1385). These reactions have been studied at 7 GeV/ c and 11.5 GeV/ c using the SLAC Hybrid Facility. Total and differential cross sections, hyperon polarization, and vector meson decay angular distributions are presented. We find that reactions with Σ + production are dominated by natural parity exchange. The Y ∗ (1385) reactions are consistent with substantial natural parity exchange contributions but also show significant unnatural parity exchange. The differential cross sections and polarization measurements for the vector meson production are compared to the pseudoscalar production reactions.

The ratio R of the differential cross sections for π - p→ η ′n and π - p → η n has been measured with high statistics and small systematic errors at 8.45 GeV/ c . R is generally interpreted as the relative content of nonstrange, ground-state quarks in η' and η. We find that R decreases with increasing ⋎ t ⋎; however, extrapolation to t =0 gives R (0) = 0.672 ± 0.032 (statistical) ± 0.47 (systematic) for the dominant spin flip cross sections, and R (0) = 0.500 ± 0.035 for the spin non-flip, in excellent agreement with results at higher energy. An improved value of the branching fraction ( η '→ γγ )/( η '→all) of 0.0200 ± 0.0018 is obtained.

We have studied hypercharge exchange in two pairs of line-reversed reactions at 7 GeV/ c incident beam momentum in a triggered bubble chamber experiment at the SLAC Hybrid Facility. The experiment was carried out with the particular object of testing the predictions of exchange degeneracy using the same apparatus. We present differential and total cross sections for the reactions π + p → K + Σ + , K − p →π − Σ + and π + p → K + Y ∗+ (1385), K − p →π − Y ∗+ (1385) from a π + exposure of sensitivity 150 events/μb and a K − exposure of 100 events/μb. In each case we have measured the polarization of the final-state hyperon for | t |<1.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 by direct observation of its decay in the bubble chamber. We present results from an amplitude analysis of the Y ∗ (1385) reactions and find agreement with the predictions of the additive quark model. The Σ + polarization data are consistent with weak exchange degeneracy but the predicted equality of the differential cross section is not observed.

The energy dependence of the K L 0 -K S 0 transmission regeneration amplitudes on deuterons and neutrons in the momentum region 10–50 GeV/ c is determined. The moduli of the modified transmission amplitudes are momentum dependent. These dependences are fitted by the expression A j p − nj , where A j and n j ( j = d, n) are constants: A d =2.88 ±0.04 mb , n d =0.546±0.030, for deuterons , A n =1.97 ±0.14 mb , n n =0.530±0.019, for neutrons , The amplitude phases do not depend on the kaon momentum and are equal to ϕ d = (−130.9 ± 2.7)° ϕ n = (−132.3 ± 1.7)°. The mean value of the ratio of the total cross-section differences for K 0 and K 0 interactions with neutrons and protons is determined. The residues of the partial ω and ϱ amplitudes, which contribute to the kaon-nucleon interaction amplitudes, are also obtained.

We have measured small angle elastic pion-proton scattering in 40 and 50 GeV c π − beams at Serpukhov. Analysis of the data in the Coulomb interference region yields a value for the ratio of the real to the imaginary part of the strong amplitude, ϱ (0)=−0.074 ± 0.033 at 40 GeV/ c and ϱ (0)=−0.006 ±0.026 at 50 GeV/ c
