We have measured the differential cross section for π−p elastic scattering at 180° in steps of 0.10 GeV/c or less in the region P0=1.6 to 5.3 GeV/c. We detected elastic scattering events, from protons in a liquid H2 target, with a double spectrometer consisting of magnets and scintillation counters in coincidence. The incident π− beam was counted by scintillation counters. The cross section was found to have considerable structure. This may be interpreted as interference between the resonant amplitudes and the nonresonant or background amplitude. Very strong destructive interference occurs around P0=2.15 GeV/c, where the cross section drops almost two orders of magnitude in passing through the N*(2190). Another interesting feature of the data is a large narrow peak in the cross section at P0=5.12 GeV/c, providing firm evidence for the existence of a nucleon resonance with a mass of 3245±10 MeV. This N*(3245) has a full width of less than 35 MeV, which is about 1% of its mass. From this experiment we were able to determine the parity and the quantity χ(J+12) for each N* resonance, where χ is the elasticity and J is the spin of the resonance.

New data are presented on the reaction K − n → K ∗− (890) n from a deuterium bubble chamber experiment. An energy-dependent partial-wave analysis from threshold to 2170 MeV c.m. energy is described, in which a new decay mode of the Σ(2030) resonance into K ∗ (890) N in the S = 3 2 state is clearly observed. An amplitude at resonance of 0.12 ± 0.02 is obtained, consistent with the assignment of the Σ (2030) to the same SU(3) decuplet as the Δ(1950).

Experimental details and channel cross sections are presented for five K − deuterium bubble chamber experiments. Utilising the Fermi motion of the neutron the K − n cross sections are extracted over the c.m. energy range 1750–2200 MeV and where possible results are compared to related channels from other experiments.

New bubble chamber data on the reactions K − n → π 0 Σ 0 in the c.m. energy range 1750–2200 MeV are presented and are compared with the predictions of the most recent partial-wave analysis of the reaction K N → πΣ . The comparison stresses the need for data involving a single value of isotopic spin in the study of this reaction. An analysis of the new data yields two satisfactory solutions involving only well established resonances.

NORMALIZED LEGENDRE COEFFICIENTS OF CROSS SECTION ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION.
New bubble chamber data on the reaction K − n → π − Λ in the c.m.s. energy range 2050 MeV to 2175 MeV are presented. These new data have been combined with published data on this reaction and on the reaction K − p → π 0 Λ and a partial-wave analysis has been carried out between 1875 MeV and 2175 MeV. Parameters of the established resonances in this c.m.s. energy region have been determined and further evidence is presented for the existence of a Σ resonance with mass around 2100 MeV/ c 2 in the P 3 partial wave.

We report measurements of the exclusive electroproduction reaction e+p→e+π++n for pions produced near 0° in the virtual-photon-proton center-of-mass system with values of ε in the range 0.35<ε<0.45. Combination with data taken at ε near 1 allows us to separate the contributions from transversely polarized and scalar photons in the range 1.2 GeV2<Q2<3.3 GeV2.

Inclusive momentum spectra and multiplicity distributions of charged particles measured with BESII detector at center of mass energies of 2.2,2.6,3.0,3.2,4.6 and 4.8 GeV are presented. Values of the second binomial moment, $R_2$, obtained from the multiplicity distributions are reported. These results are compared with both experimental data from high energy $e^+e^-$, $ep$ and $p\bar{p}$ experiments and QCD calculations.

We report values of $R = \sigma(e^+e^-\to {hadrons})/\sigma(e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-)$ for 85 center-of-mass energies between 2 and 5 GeV measured with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider.
Measured values of R.
An experiment was done using the new accelerated polarized proton beam at the Argonne National Laboratory zero-gradient synchrotron and a polarized proton target. The total cross section for proton-proton scattering at 3.5 GeV/c was measured in the spin states ↑↑ and ↑↓ perpendicular to the beam direction. The two cross sections were found to be equal within the experimental error of ±5%.
TOTAL CROSS SECTION DIFFERENCE FOR PURE TRANSVERSE SPIN STATES.
Using the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer (BESII), we have measured the total cross section for $e^+e^-$ annihilation into hadronic final states at center-of-mass energies of 2.6, 3.2, 3.4, 3.55, 4.6 and 5.0 GeV. Values of $R$, $\sigma(e^+e^-\to {hadrons})/\sigma(e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-)$, are determined.
Data are corrected for acceptance and radiative effects.
