Results of two spark chamber experiments on A 2 − production in the reaction π − p → K − K S 0 (→ π + π − )p at 9.8 and 18.8 GeV are presented. Decay angular distributions and differential cross sections are given, and the energy dependence of the cross section σ [ π − p → A 2 − (→ K − K 0 )p] is compared with results from π − p → A 2 − (→ 3 π )p.

Backward Production of the $B$ Meson in $K^- p$ Interactions at 4.2-{GeV}/$c$

The Amsterdam-CERN-Nijmegen-Oxford collaboration Gavillet, P. ; Dionisi, C. ; Gurtu, A. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 78 (1978) 158-161, 1978.
Inspire Record 131673 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27430

The backward production of the B(1235) meson is studied in the reaction K − p → Σ − π + ω . This reaction is observed in the final state Σ − π + π + π − π 0 . A π + ω mass enhancement is visible in the region of the B meson for events with small | u |K − → Σ − ) squared four-momentum transfer. The properties of the enhancement agree with those of the B meson. The cross section for K − p → Σ − B + at 4.15 GeV c incident K − momentum is (3.2 ± 0.5) μb . The backward production of the B meson is compared with similar baryon exchange productions of the A 1 and C(Q 1 ) axial vector mesons observed in the same experiment.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 41 (1978) 1005, 1978.
Inspire Record 130859 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20888

We have measured inclusive γ and π0 production in multiprong events produced by e+e− annihilation in the center-of-mass energy range 4.9 to 7.4 GeV. We find the π0 inclusive cross section to be consistent in shape and normalization with half the charged-π cross section between x=0.15 and 0.60, with an integrated inclusive cross-section ratio of σ(π0)|σ(π+)+σ(π−)|=0.47±0.10.

Production of Hadrons at Large Transverse Momentum in 200-GeV, 300-GeV and 400-GeV p p and p n Collisions

Antreasyan, D. ; Cronin, J.W. ; Frisch, Henry J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 19 (1979) 764-778, 1979.
Inspire Record 6860 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24270

Measurements of the invariant cross section Ed3σd3p are presented for the production of hadrons (π, K, p, and p¯) at large transverse momentum (p⊥) by 200-, 300-, and 400-GeV protons incident on H2, D2, Be, Ti, and W targets. The measurements were made at a laboratory angle of 77 mrad, which corresponds to angles near 90° in the c.m. system of the incident proton and a single nucleon at rest. The range in p⊥ for the data is 0.77≤p⊥≤6.91 GeV/c, corresponding to values of the scaling variable x⊥=2p⊥s from 0.06 to 0.64. For p−p collisions, the pion cross sections can be represented in the region x⊥>35 by the form (1p⊥n)(1−x⊥)b, with n=8 and b=9. The ratio of π+ to π− production grows as a function of x⊥ to a value larger than 2 at x⊥≳0.5. The ratios of the production of K+ and protons to π+ and of K− and antiprotons to π− also scale with x⊥ for p−p collisions. The K±, p, and p¯ fitted values for n and b are given. Particle ratios are also presented for D2, Be, Ti, and W targets and the dependences on atomic weight (A) are discussed.

Precision Measurement of Proton Proton Total Cross-section at the {CERN} Intersecting Storage Rings

Amaldi, U. ; Cocconi, G. ; Diddens, A.N. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 145 (1978) 367-401, 1978.
Inspire Record 131412 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.34944

The measurement of the proton-proton total cross section performed by the CERN-Pisa-Rome-Stony Brook Collaboration at the CERN ISR is discussed in detail. The total interaction rate, the elastic scattering rate in the forward direction, and the machine luminosity were measured simultaneously to obtain three different determinations of the total cross section. Consistent results were found, which made it possible to prove the reliability of the Van der Meer luminosity calibration within +-0.9% and to achieve a precision of +-0.6% in the measurement of the total cross section.

Analysis of Nucleon Structure Functions in CERN Bubble Chamber Neutrino Experiments

Nucl.Phys.B 142 (1978) 1-28, 1978.
Inspire Record 6678 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.35031

We present results for the differential cross sections of neutrinos and antineutrinos on nucleons in the energy range E = 2−200 GeV, from the BEBC and Gargamelle experiments. The structure functions F 2 , 2 χF 1 and χF 3 have been evaluated as a function of χ and q 2 . Deviations are observed from Bjorken scaling, which are very similar to those found in electron and muon inelastic scattering. For the Callan-Gross ratio, we find 2χF 1 F 2 = 0.80 ± 0.12 and the corresponding value for 〈R〉 = 〈 σ S σ T 〉 = 0.15 ± 0.10 . Our results are consistent with the Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rule; we measure ⩾2.5 ± 0.5 valence quarks per nucleon. Quark and antiquark distributions are given. The Nachtmann moments of F 2 and χF 3 are quantitatively consistent with the predictions from QCD. The value of the strong interaction parameter is λ = 0.74 ± 0.05 GeV without corrections, and 0.66 ± 0.05 GeV including α S 2 corrections. The moments of the gluon distribution are found to be positive and indicate an χ distribution of gluons which is comparable with that of the valence quarks.

Production of Multi - Pion Systems With Large Longitudinal Momentum at the {CERN} {ISR}

Inclusive cross sections are presented for 2π and 3π systems with large longitudinal x at the highest intersecting storage ring energies (s=53 GeV for 2π; s=53 and 62 GeV for 3π). The ratio π+π−π−π− rises sharply with increasing x similar to the ratio K+K−, as expected in a quark-model interpretation.

Confirmation of Exchange Degeneracy Predictions in the Line Reversed Reactions: $\pi^+ p \to K^+ Y^*(1385)$ and $K^- p \to \pi^- Y^*(1385)$ at 11.6-{GeV}/$c$

Inspire Record 130550 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20815

We have measured in a single experimental setup the differential cross sections and polarizations of the Y*(1385) produced in the two line-reversed reactions π+p→K+Y*(1385) (260 eV/μb) and K−p→π−Y*(1385) (180 eV/μb) at 11.5 GeV/c. We compare these results to Σ+ production in the same experiment. The data have been derived from a triggered bubble-chamber experiment using the SLAC Hybrid Facility. We find that both helicity-flip-dominated (Y*) and helicity-nonflip-dominated (Σ) processes are consistent with weak-exchange-degeneracy predictions.

Multiplicity Distributions in 28-{GeV}/$c p d$ Interactions and Double Scattering in Deuterium

Hanlon, J. ; Panvini, R.S. ; Waters, J.W. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 19 (1979) 49, 1979.
Inspire Record 6709 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24254

We study the multiplicity distribution of charged particles produced in 28-GeV/c pd interactions in the BNL 80-inch deuterium bubble chamber. We find that (18.3 ± 2.9)% of the three- and more-prong pd events result from double scattering in deuterium, a fraction observed to be constant from 28-to-400-GeV/c incident momentum. We extract pn topological cross sections from the odd-prong pd data by correcting for the effects of spectator visibility, double scattering, and Glauber screening. We find the dispersion of 28-to-400-GeV/c pd multiplicity distributions to have the same linear dependence on the mean multiplicity as found for pp data, while the pn data exhibit a different dependence. Both the pd and pn multiplicity distributions at 28 GeV/c are observed to be inconsistent with Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling.

The Reactions $K^- p \to$ Pseudoscalar Meson $\Lambda(1520)$ at 4.2-{GeV}/$c$

Inspire Record 130106 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.34820

The total and differential cross sections of the reactions K − p → π 0 Λ (1520), ηΛ(1520) and η′ Λ(1520) have been measured. Prominent forward peaks are onserved in all three reactions. The first reaction shows also a backward peak. The spin density matrix elements of the Λ(1520) in this reaction are determined. For forward production the results show a remarkable alignment of the Λ(1520) corresponding to an M2 transition in the model of Stodolsky-Sakurai for 3 2 − baryon production.
