We present density-matrix elements and single-spin correlations for the reaction p↑p→pπ+n at 3, 4, 6, and 11.75 GeV/c, using both longitudinal and transverse beam polarizations. For small momentum transfers, the spin correlations are mainly due to off-shell π+p elastic scattering, while for larger t there are large polarization effects associated with the production dynamics for p↑p→Δ++n. Comparison of longitudinal and transverse polarization correlations suggests that the Δ++-production spin effects are due mainly to unnatural-parity exchanges. We present a model-dependent amplitude analysis, and extract the energy dependence of the natural- and unnatural-parity-exchange contributions.

We present the results and the analysis of a high-statistics experiment to study A 2 and g production in the reaction π − p→K − K S 0 p at 10 GeV/ c . In each resonance region we perform a moment analysis of the data, and from the moments we determine the production amplitudes as a function of t . We find A 2 production proceeds dominantly by natural-parity (pomeron and f) exchange. We compare A 2 and diffractive K ∗ (1420) production. We find g production proceeds by π and ω exchanges; we determine the g → K K branching ratio.

We report measurements of inelastic photoproduction of ω and ρ± mesons from hydrogen and deuterium at incident photon energies in the range 7.5-10.5 GeV. For ωΔ and ρ−Δ++ production, differential cross sections dσdt′ and spin density matrices are presented. For higher missing masses the cross sections dσdMX2 and invariant structure functions F(x) are also given. The data are compared to a one-pion-exchange model. We conclude that pion exchange is dominant for inelastic ω photoproduction, but unimportant for ρ±.

ρ± photoproduction from hydrogen and deuterium at 9.6 GeV is studied. The reactions γp→ρ+n and γp→ρ−Δ++(1236) have cross sections much larger than expected from pion exchange alone. t distributions do not show the sharp forward peak characteristic of one-pion exchange contributions. Density matrices indicate an isotropic decay distribution. The ratio of ρ+ to ρ− production on deuterium differs from unity and by the amount expected from interference between ρ and A2 exchanges. We conclude that π exchange is unimportant for ρ± photoproduction, and infer that ρ exchange dominates.

DENSITY MATRICES IN HELICITY FRAME - UNPUBLISHED.
We have studied ω photoproduction using 7.5- to 10.5-GeV tagged photons. Cross sections from hydrogen lie 22% below the bubble chamber results of Ballam et al., but have a similar slope. Density matrices indicate approximate s-channel helicity conservation. The proton-neutron cross-section difference is midway between zero and the value suggested by the γp−γn total-cross-section difference. Fits to the cross sections for D, Be, and Cu and those for Be, C, Al, Cu, and Pb from a previous experiment yield σωN=25.4±2.7 mb and γω24π=7.6±1.2.
