Pion production and elastic scattering in anti-proton-proton collisions at 6.94 bev/c

Ferbel, T. ; Johnson, J.A. ; Kraybill, H.L. ; et al.
Phys.Rev. 173 (1968) 1307-1314, 1968.
Inspire Record 55957 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26499

We have studied nonstrange p¯−p interactions observed in 7000 pictures of the 80-in. Brookhaven National Laboratory hydrogen bubble chamber exposed to an antiproton beam with a momentum of 6.94 BeVc. The total cross section was measured to be 58.7±2.8 mb, and the elastic interaction cross section 14.2±1.2 mb. The elastic differential cross section for four-momentum transfers (−t)≤0.3 (BeVc)2 is well described by the exponential form dσeldt=(dσdt)t=0ebt, where b=13.1±1.1 (BeVc)−2. The single-pion production cross section is 4.0±0.9 mb. This channel proceeds 70% through resonance formation. N*(1238) isobar and anti-isobar formation dominates pion production in four- and six-pronged events; the double-isobar formation cross section in the final state pπ+p¯π− is 1.35±0.2 mb. Isobar production was observed to be consistent with the predictions of a dominant one-particle-exchange process. The pion-annihilation process, which has a cross section of 25±5 mb, shows substantial pion resonance formation.

Cross sections for p p ---> d rho+ from 4.0 to 12.3 gev/c and a search for the delta+

Anderson, H.L. ; Dixit, M. ; Evans, H.J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 26 (1971) 108-112, 1971.
Inspire Record 69063 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21629

Forward differential cross sections for isospin-1 bosons produced in p+p→d+x+ were measured using a deuteron missing-mass spectrometer at a small angle between 4.0- and 12.3−GeVc incident momentum. Differential cross sections for π+ and ρ+ were extracted from the spectra using phase-space backgrounds. They range from 10.4 to 0.4 μb/sr for π+ and from 1.4 to 0.3 μb/sr for ρ+. A bump near 6 GeVc appears in both dπ and dρ channels. No clear evidence is seen for higher-mass bosons. The possible δ+ cross sections average less than 0.01 μb/sr.

Measurements of the differential cross-section of the reaction p p ---> d pi+ from 3.0 to 5.0 gev/c

Anderson, H.L. ; Larson, D.A. ; Myrianthopoulos, L.C. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 9 (1974) 580-596, 1974.
Inspire Record 93111 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21941

A measurement of the complete differential cross section for the reaction pp→dπ+ at 3.00, 3.20, 3.43, 3.65, 3.83, 4.00, 4.20, and 5.05 GeVc incident proton momentum has been made in an attempt to establish the role of the Δ (1950) in this region. The data show that the previously observed enhancement in the forward cross section between 3 and 4 GeVc due to this isobar is an effect which damps out quickly as the production angle departs from zero degrees, in contrast with the well-known enhancement at 1.35 GeVc, which is evident at all angles. In particular, the one-pion-exchange model is in poor agreement with the extended set of data. A detailed description is given of a novel proportional-wire-chamber system which facilitated the selection of this rather rare reaction from a very high competing background.

The reactions e+e−→e+e− and e+e−→μ+μ− have been measured at center-of-mass energies 3.0, 3.8, and 4.8 GeV and production angles of 50°<θ<130° over all azimuthal angles. Agreement with quantum electrodynamics is excellent. New limits for cutoff parameters in quantum-electrodynamic-breakdown models are given.

Inclusive hadron production in muon-proton inelastic scattering has been measured for q2>0.5 (GeV/c)2 and 10<ν<135 GeV. The results are presented in the form of the transverse momentum distribution of charged hadrons and the hadron invariant structure function F(x′).

Search for Narrow Resonances in e+ e- Annihilation in the Mass Region 3.2-GeV to 5.9-GeV

Boyarski, A. ; Breidenbach, Martin ; Bulos, F. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 34 (1975) 762, 1975.
Inspire Record 100594 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21228

We have searched the mass region 3.2 to 5.9 GeV for evidence of narrow resonances in e+e−→hadrons. We find no evidence for any such resonances other than the ψ(3695) in this region with a sensitivity ranging from about 12 to 45% of the integrated cross section of the ψ(3695). The more stringent bounds apply to resonances of a few MeV width, while the looser bounds apply to resonances of up to 20 MeV width.

Augustin, J.E. ; Boyarski, A. ; Breidenbach, Martin ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 34 (1975) 764, 1975.
Inspire Record 100592 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21227

The total cross section for hadron production by e+e− annihilation has been measured at center-of-mass energies between 2.4 and 5.0 GeV. Aside from the very narrow resonances ψ(3105) and ψ(3695), the cross section varies between 32 and 17 nb over this region with structure in the vicinity of 4.1 GeV.

Study of the Energy and Charged Multiplicity Dependence of Inclusive pi- Production in pi- p Interactions Up to Fermilab Energies

Morris, W. ; Oh, B.Y. ; Parker, D.L. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 56 (1975) 395-399, 1975.
Inspire Record 2113 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27878

Using new data from 100 GeV c π − interactions, we find the energy dependence of the invariant cross-section in the target fragmentation (central) region to be consistent with an A + Bs − 1 2 (C + Ds − 1 4 ) behavior. The leading particle peak near x = + 1 exhibits a width in x which becomes smaller with increasing energy and an integrated cross section which is approximately energy independent.
