Lambda and K0 Production in Polarized p p Interactions at 6-GeV/c

Eisner, R.L. ; Fickinger, W.J. ; Glickman, S.L. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 123 (1977) 361-381, 1977.
Inspire Record 4307 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.35405

Results on K 0 and Λ production in p↑p interactions at 6 GeV are presented. The data are from an exposure of the Argonne 12 ft bubble chamber to a 60% transversely polarized proton beam. Results include data on Λ and K 0 inclusive production, and on the reactions p↑p → p Λ K + (p Σ 0 K + ). The beam asymmetry parameter for p ↑ p → K 0 ( K 0 ) + X is determined to be (−0.52 ± 0.12).

The Cross-Section for the Production of Massive electron Pairs and the Upsilon (9.5-GeV) in Proton Proton Collisions at the CERN ISR

Cobb, J.H. ; Iwata, S. ; Palmer, R.B. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 72 (1977) 273-277, 1977.
Inspire Record 122577 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27504

Measurements of the cross section for the production of electron pairs with invariant masses between 4 and 8.7 GeV are presented as a function of the centre-of-mass energy ( s = 28 to s = 62 GeV ) of the colliding proton beams. A significant excess of events is observed in the region 8.7 to 10.3 GeV; these are ascribed to the ϒ(9.5 GeV) resonances and estimates of the production cross sections are given.

Study of Photons Produced Simultaneously with the J/psi Particles at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings

Cobb, J.H. ; Iwata, S. ; Palmer, R.B. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 72 (1978) 497-499, 1978.
Inspire Record 122488 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.50369

As a part of the study of the inclusive production of electron pairs in pp collisions at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR), a search has been performed for additional photons accompanying J/ψ particles. The results suggest that (43±21)% of the J/ψ's are produced via the photonic decay of one of the χ(3.5) states.

STUDY OF THE REACTION P (polarized) P ---> N DELTA++ AT 6-GEV/C WITH POLARIZED BEAM

Eisner, R.L. ; Fickinger, W.J. ; Malko, J.A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 20 (1979) 596-600, 1979.
Inspire Record 146629 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24197

We have studied the reaction p↑p→nΔ++ at 6 GeV/c incident momentum in which the incident protons are 60% transversely polarized. The experiment used the Argonne National Laboratory Zero Gradient Synchrotron polarized beam and the 12-foot hydrogen bubble chamber. We report on about 6000 Δ++ events, with the Δ++ produced in the backward hemisphere in the c.m. system. Spin-density matrix elements as a function of momentum transfer are presented and small beam-polarization-induced effects are described.

Study of Resolved High {P(T)} Neutral Pions at the {CERN} {ISR}

Inspire Record 140588 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27353

The inclusive production of π 0 at large values of p T in pp collisions at the ISR has been studied. In this experiment the two photons are resolved and separately measured for p T values of up to 6 GeV/ c , giving confidence that the desired signal has been separated from various backgrounds.

Inclusive π 0 production at 90° has been studied at the ISR at s 1 2 = 52.7 and 62.4 GeV over the p T range from 7 to 15 GeV/ c . The two photons from π 0 decay yielded overlapping electromagnetic showers in the liquid-argon-Pb plate calorimeter detector system. Any direct photon production is included in these measurements. For large values of p T , the cross section is observed to decrease with p T more slowly than the p T −8 behaviour which has been observed at lower values of p T .

The inclusive η production cross section at the CERN ISR has been measured for p T values of up to 11 GeV/ c . We find that the η π 0 cross-section ratio has an average value of 0.55 ± 0.07 and varies little with p T .

Direct Production of High $p_T$ Single Photons at the {CERN} Intersecting Storage Rings

Single photon production in pp collisions at 30 < √ s < 62 GeV has been measured with liquid-argon-lead calorimeters at the CERN ISR. This process remains approximately constant with increasing √ s . For fixed √ s , the single photon to π 0 ratio increases strongly with increase in p T . The γ π 0 ratio is about 0.2 for p T above 4.5 GeV/c.

Inclusive High {P(T)} $\omega^0$ and $\eta{'}$ Production at the {ISR}

Inspire Record 143931 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27254

The inclusive production cross section of ω 0 and η′ were measured at transverse momenta of 3 to 7GeV/ c at 90° in the centre of mass. The ω 0 /π 0 and η′/π 0 production ratios were found to be 0.87 ± 0.17 and 0.9 ± 0.25, respectively, at 3.5 GeV and constant up to 7 GeV/ c . The large meson/ π 0 production ratio supports the hypothesis that high- p T mesons are the leading fragments of the basic constituent jet. The η ′/ η ratio exemplifies the SU(3) singlet nature of the η ′.

Nucl.Phys.B 164 (1980) 1, 1980.
Inspire Record 156268 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.8251

Results are presented from a study of inclusive neutral strange particle production by a 147 GeV/ c tagged π + /K + /p beam in the Fermilab 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber. The experiment made use of the proportional hybrid spectrometer system. Results are based on 995 K S 0 , 485 Λ, and 83 Λ found in a sample of 132 000 pictures. Cross sections are given for inclusive production of these particles by each of the three beam particles, and comparisons are made with measurements at other energies. Topological cross sections are also calculated, and KNO multiplicity scaling is investigated. Distributions are presented of invariant cross sections as functions of the Feynman scaling variable x and c.m. rapidity y . The transverse momentum-squared distributions with their fitted slopes are also given. Comparisons are made of the production characteristics for the three beam types.
