The differential cross section for π±−p elastic scattering at 180° was measured from 0.572 to 1.628 GeVc using a double-arm scintillation-counter spectrometer with an angular acceptance θ* in the center-of-mass system defined by −1.00≤cosθ*≤−0.9992. The π+−p cross section exhibits a large dip at 0.737 GeVc and a broad peak centered near 1.31 GeVc. The π−−p cross section exhibits peaks at 0.69, 0.97, and 1.43 GeVc.

The total cross sections of 18.7 GeV Σ − hyperons on protons and deutrons have been measured to be 34.0 ± 1.1 mb and 61.3 + 1.4 mb, respectively. The derived Σ − -neutron cross section is 30.0 ± 1.2 mb.
CROSS SECTIONS CORRECTED FOR FORWARD COULOMB AND NUCLEAR SCATTERING.
The proof is given for the existence of the reaction e + e − → h ± h ∓ in the energy range 1400–2400 MeV, and its energy dependence is compared with that of e + e − → e ± e ∓ , in the same experimental conditions of observation. The exponent of the s -dependence of the ratio α = (e + e − → h ± h ∓ )/ (e + e − → e ± e ∓ ) is measured to be n = 2.08 ± 0.45, in the s -range (1.96 − 5.76) GeV 2 , on the basis of 51 e + e − → h ± h ∓ events and 8918 e + e − → e ± e ∓ events observed.
CROSS SECTION FOR PRODUCTION OF CHARGED HADRON PAIRS.
Complete angular distributions for the reactions p p → π − π + and other two meson states at 2.3 GeV/ c are presented. The extraordinary π − π + angular distribution is contrasted with the other final states and the predictions of simple models. A favourable comparison is made with the qualitative features of a dual model involving high mass meson states with a strong degeneracy with respect to I -spin.

K* NEUTRAL TO CHARGED PRODUCTION RATIO.
A study is made of η 0 production in p p → 3π + 3π − π 0 (7500 events) at an incident momentum of 720 MeV/ c . The reaction is dominated by production of ω 0 (≈68 o/o). The η o production has been studied by means of two independent methods: the first, a study of correlations between the (4 π ) ± and (5 π ) 0 and the (3 π ) 0 systems, circumvents the problem of ω 0 reflections. The second attempts to isolate the η 0 4π channel by means of rigorous selections using the decay properties of η 0 and ω 0 . The results of the two methods are consistent and confirnm the production of σ +- , D 0 and E 0 with the decays ifD 0 → σ ± π ± → η 0 π + π ( su −), E 0 → σ ± π ∓ → η ( su 0) π + π − , E 0 → η 0 π + π − .

The reaction π − p → ηφ has been studied at 1.8 GeV/ c incident pion momentum using the Bologna-CERN NBC set-up, in order to investigate the electromagnetic decay mode φ → ηγ . We observed (27 ± 6) events, yielding a branching ratio Γ(φ → ηγ) Γ(φ → total ) = (7.3 ± 1.9)% . The theoretical implications of this result are discussed.
ASSUMING THE TOTAL PHI CROSS SECTION IS 35 +- 5 MUB, THIS YIELDS THE BRANCHING RATIO OF (7.3 +- 1.9) PCT FOR PHI --> ETA GAMMA.
The reaction K − d → K − π + π − n p s was studied in a bubble chamber experiment. The cross section was measured to be 1.3 ± 0.2 mb. The final state is dominated by K ∗0 (890) , K ∗0 (1420) and Δ − (1236) production. Partial cross sections, differential cross sections and decay angular distributions of the K ∗0 (890) δ − (1236) final state were found to give good agreement with the predictions of Białas and Zalewski obtained from the quark model. The final state K − π + Δ − (1236) is analyzed by use of the Van Hove plot.

Lambda production is studied in K − p interactions at 10.1 GeV/ c , where the dominant reaction is K − p → Λ + pions. General characteristics such as the distributions of the double differential cross section in the lab system, of the variable x = p L ∗ p max ∗ , of p ⊥ 2 and of the missing mass to the lambda are presented. Total cross sections for Λ production and for the various channels are given. Differential cross sections d σ d t , d σ d t′ and d σ d u′ are presented. Forward and backward peaks are observed in the d σ d t′ and d σ d u′ distributions, respectively. It is found that the exponential slope of these distributions decreases with increasing missing mass to the lambda and, for d σ d t′ , also for increasing multiplicity in the final state. The polarization of the lambdas is studied as a function of multiplicity, p L ∗ , (Λπ ± ) effective mass, t ′ and u ′. The forward lambdas show

POSSIBLE FORWARD DIP.
Approximately 21 000 four-prong pp interactions at 13.1 GeV/ c have been studied using the CERN 2m hydrogen bubble chamber. The following reactions have been analyzed pp→ppπ + π − (1) pp→ppπ + π − π 0 (2) pp→ppπ + π + π − (3) The Δ-production is the dominant feature. We also observed the pππ decay of the N ∗ (1470) and N ∗ (1690). The ϱis weakly produced in the three reactions. The η and the α are observed in the reaction (2) and the presence of a ω isobar is discussed. Then the kinematical characteristics of the final particles are described.
