The asymmetry of the cross sections for the photoproduction of π + mesons on polarized protons γ + p↑ → π + + n has been studied in the four-momentum transfer range 0.1 ⩽ | t | ⩽ 1.25 (GeV/ c ) 2 for photon energies of 2.5, 3.4 and 5.0 GeV. The measurements were carried out on a polarized butanol target. Both particles in the final state were detected: the pion by a magnetic spectrometer, the recoil nucleon in a scintillation counter matrix. The asymmetry was found to be negative with values around −0.4.

Elastic scattering of linearly polarized photons on protons has been measured between 3.2 and 3.7 GeV for four-momentum transfers ranging from −0.1 to −0.7 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The observed cross section asymmetry in this range is consistent with zero within ±0.05.

Proton Compton scattering has been measured in a coincidence experiment at photon energies between 2.2 and 7 GeV and four-momentum transfers t between −0.06 and −0.85(GeV/ c ) 2 . For ∣ t ∣ ⩽ 0.4 (GeV/ c ) 2 fits of the form d σ /d t = ( A · exp( Bt )) yield forward cross sections A in good agreement with the values calculated from the total hadronic γ p cross section via the optical theorem and the forward dispersion relation. The slopes B do not show a significant energy dependence, the mean value being 5.7 ± 0.4 (GeV/ c ) −2 . The cross section is substantially larger than predicted by the vector-meson dominance model.

Compton scattering on protons has been measured at a mean photon energy of 6 GeV and four-momentum transfers − t between 0.06 and 0.60 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The differential cross section shows a diffraction-like behaviour. The cross section extrapolated to t =0 is in fair agreement with the optical point. Discrepancies with the vector meson dominance model are pointed out.

Previous measurements of the cross section asymmetry for single π + production on protons with linearly polarized photons of 3.4 GeV have been extended to momentum transfers within the forward peak, i.e. − = 0.0026, 0.006 and 0.01 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The results are in good agreement with pion exchange models.
Axis error includes +- 6/6 contribution.

The reaction γ+p→π++n has been investigated for photon energies between 1.2 and 3 GeV and pion c.m. angles from 2.5 to 15°. The cross section is strongly peaked in the forward direction and shows resonance structure in the region of the N32*(1920) and N12*(2190).

The Λ polarization in the reaction γp → K + Λ has been measured using the decay Λ → pπ − as an analyzer. It is found to be large and negative in the momentum transer range 0.2 ⩽ | t | ⩽ 1.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 .
