We have studied the reactions\(\bar pn \to \pi ^ -\pi ^ -\pi ^ +(\pi ^0 )\) at incident momenta between 0.42 and 1.65 GeV/c using two exposures in deuterium-filled bubble chambers. The ratio of the rates for 3π to 4π final states shows a sharp increase at a momentum of about 0.8 GeV/c. A full partial-wave analysis of the 3π final state has been made and complex structure is observed at approximately the same momentum, associated in particular with theJP=3+ final state.

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.
