A bubble-chamber experiment in which the reaction π−+p→π+π+N was studied at a beam momentum of 2.14 BeV/c yielded 1533 and 2234 events of the final states π−π0p and π−π+n, respectively. These events are dominated by the formation of the ρ resonance, which is produced mostly in the forward direction. Both the production and decay angular distributions of the ρ− agree very well with the predictions of the one-pion exchange theory modified by absorption effects. The decay angular distribution of the ρ0 shows the well-known forward-backward asymmetry. This effect is interpretable as the result of the interference between the ρ0 and an isospin-zero s-wave π−π resonance. The production of the ρ0, in addition to its forward peak, shows a weak backward peak. Partial cross sections of various final states are also presented.

The ϒ, ϒ′, and ϒ′′ states have been observed at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring as narrow peaks in σ(e+e−→hadrons) versus beam energy. Data were collected during a run with integrated luminosity of 1000 nb−1, using the Columbia University-Stony Brook segmented NaI detector. The measured mass differences are M(ϒ′)−M(ϒ)=559±1(±3) MeV and M(ϒ′′)−M(ϒ)=889±1(±5) MeV, where the errors in parentheses represent systematic uncertainties. Preliminary values for the leptonic width ratios were also obtained.
HADRONIC EVENTS/SMALL-ANGLE BHABHA YIELD.
During an energy scan at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, with use of the Columbia University-Stony Brook NaI detector, an enhancement in σ(e+e−→hadrons) is observed at center-of-mass energy ∼10.55 GeV. The mass and leptonic width of this state (ϒ′′′) suggest that it is the 4S13 bound state of the b quark and its antiquark. After applying to the data a cut in a (pseudo) thrust variable, the natural width is measured to be Γ=12.6±6.0 MeV, indicating that the ϒ′′′ is above the threshold for BB¯ production.
VISIBLE TOTAL HADRONIC CROSS SECTION FOR FIRST, THIRD AND FOURTH UPSILONS.
The CUSB detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring has been used to measure R=σ(e+e−→hadrons)σ(e+e−→μ+μ−) in the c.m. energy regions between the ϒ′′ and the ϒ′′′, and above the ϒ′′′ up to s=11.6 GeV, with integrated luminosities of 5000 and 2100 nb−1, respectively. No narrow resonances are observed, and limits on the leptonic widths are presented. The average value of R increases by 0.31±0.06 across the flavor threshold.

We have searched for resonances in the reaction e+e−→hadrons, γγ, μμ, and ee, in the energy range 39.79<s<45.52 GeV, using the Mark J detector at PETRA. We obtain stringent upper limits on the production of toponium and particles postulated to explain Z0→leptonpair+γ events observed at the CERN p―p collider. We also set limits on the mass and coupling constant of excited electrons.

The masses, total widths, and leptonic widths of three triplet s-wave bb¯ states ϒ(4S), ϒ(5S), and ϒ(6S) are determined from measurements of the e+e− annihilation cross section into hadrons for 10.55<W<11.25 GeV. The resonances are identified from potential model results and their properties are obtained with the help of a simplified coupled-channels calculation. We find M(4S)=10.577 GeV, Γ(4S)=25 MeV, Γee(4S)=0.28 keV; M(5S)=10.845 GeV, Γ(5S)=110 MeV, Γee(5S)=0.37 keV; M(6S)=11.02 GeV, Γ(6S)=90 MeV, Γee(6S)=0.16 keV.
VISIBLE CROSS SECTION INTO HADRONS.
We use the reaction e+e−→μ+μ−, in the Mark J detector at the DESY high-energy e+e− collider PETRA, to test the standard electroweak theory and find good agreement. We also set limits on the parameters of several extended gauge theories.

We use the reaction e+e−→hadrons, in the Mark J detector at the DESY electron-positron collider PETRA, to determine the hadronic cross section up to 46.78 GeV. The production of a top quark with a charge equal to (2/3) is excluded up to 46.6 GeV with 95% C.L. The observed rise in the cross section at higher energies is consistent with the electroweak prediction for a Z0 mass of 93 GeV. We describe some unusual muon inclusive events.
