Recent results from the NA35 Collaboration are presented for the reactions of 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon p and 16 O, and 200 GeV/nucleon 32 S with various targets ranging from S to Au. Midrapidity transverse energy distributions and forward energy flow, p⊥ spectra and rapidity distributions of hadrons are presented. Two-pion interferometry results are discussed. Neutral strange particle yields and p⊥ distributions are presented. Conclusions are drawn from the experimental results.

Photopion energy distributions have been measured on 7 Li , 28 Si , 51 V and 93 Nb at θ π = 90° with 200 MeV electron. The logarithmic plot of the distributions shows a break at around 10 MeV of the residual energy. This is not explained by the quasi-free π + production. The (e, π + ) cross sections at θ π = 90° deduced by integrating the energy distribution. The result can be approximated by σ 0 Z 2 3 , where σ 0 is 0.13 times the elementary cross section of H(e, π + ) at θ π = 90°. The quasi-free π + production calculated by the Fermi-gas model with Pauli exclusion principle approximately reproduces the relative dependence on the charge number but its absolute value is about ten times as large as the experimental result. The present result for the charged photopion cross section in the threshold region is in contrast to the case in the Δ-resonance region where the cross section of π + + π − photoproduction is expressed by A 2 3 times the elementary cross sections.

An angular distribution of negative pions produced on 15 N, leading to the ground state of 15 O, has been measured via the (e, π − )-reaction at E e ≈ 170 MeV. Using virtual photon theory, single-differential cross sections are extracted from the measured double-differential cross sections. The measured data is in good agreement with theoretical calculations in the DWIA model. A clear signature of nuclear EO excitation is found in contrast to previous experiments in a similar reaction on 13 C.

Inelastic cross sections at 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon are determined in a streamer chamber for 16 O on several nuclear targets. Charged particle multiplicity distributions for inelastic and central collisions are studied and compared with theoretical predictions. The inelastic cross section exhibit a geometrical dependence on nuclear radii. The multiplicity data are governed by the collision geometry. They are consistent with a picture of superposition of independent nucleon-nucleus interactions.

The results of an analysis of streamer chamber data from the NA5 experiment are presented. Topological cross sections forpp and\(\bar p\)p interactions and strange neutral particle production at 200 GeV/c have been measured and (\(\bar p\)p−pp) difference cross sections have been determined. Multiplicity moments were calculated.

A search for sequential charged leptons decaying into massive neutrinos has been performed at Ec.m.=56 GeV at the KEK colliding-beam accelerator TRISTAN. We have found no evidence for the production of the charged heavy leptons for an integrated luminosity of 5.3 pb−1. A search for stable charged leptons was also conducted yielding null results. A new mass limit on the charged heavy leptons was obtained as a function of the mass of the associated neutrinos.

We report on a study of the inclusive production properties of DD¯ mesons in pp collisions at 800 GeV/c and compare our results to measurements made at lower energies and to the expectations of the QCD fusion model.

We present differential cross-sections for the electro-production of single charged pions from deuterium for a virtual photon mass squared −1.0 GeV2 and for pion nucleon masses in the range 1.23–1.68 GeV (the 1st and 2nd resonance regions). The data are compared with predictions from fits to hydrogen data.

The survival time spectrum of slow antineutrons produced in a LH2 target has been measured. From these data the imaginary part of the I=1 spin averaged S‐wave antineutron proton scattering length has been deduced to be Im a1= −0.83±0.07 fm. The result lies within the range of values calculated from current potential models.

A search for SU(3) manifestly exotic Q2Q¯ 2 baryonium states in antiproton-deuterium interactions was carried out at the SLAC 40-in. hybrid bubble-chamber facility. The I=(3/2, S=1 channel, X−, produced in conjunction with a forward produced neutral antikaon was studied. Such X− states would decay into an antihyperon and a baryon. The fast forward K¯ 0 was detected in a three-view segmented calorimeter placed downstream of the bubble chamber and used as part of the trigger. Upper limits of 0.50–1.63 μb are reported for the X−→Λ¯nπ−, Σ¯ n−, Λ¯pπ−π−, Σ¯ π−−, Σ¯ π∓±π− exclusive channels based upon ≤13 events per channel.
