Results on the inclusive reactions K − p → K ∗− (890) + X + and K − p → K ∗0 (890) + X 0 at 14.3 GeV/c are presented. A comparison is made with previous data and with the reaction K − p → K 0 + X at 14.3 GeV /c . Predictions of a triple-Regge model for the variation of the unnatural and natural parity exchanges with the mass of the X system are examined. The experimental values of the structure functions are compared with those calculated from a quark model.

Inclusive cross sections and one-particle inclusive spectra are given for neutral K, Λ and Λ produced in K − p and K + p interactions at 32 GeV/ c in the 4.5 m Mirabelle hydrogen bubble chamber at the Serpukhov accelerator. Cross sections for associated production are also given, and the energy dependences of the cross sections and of the x distributions in the central and in the fragmentation regions are discussed.

We have done an inclusive study of ϱ 0 production in π − p interactions at 15 GeV/ c . Evidence for two different production mechanisms, in addition to the known quasi two-body processes, is presented: production of ϱ 0 's in the central region of rapidity similar to the “pionization” region seen in the inclusive studies of pions; and forward production in the beam dissociation region of rapidity. Cross sections and rapidity distributions for the ϱ 0 are given inclusively and by topology, and the results are compared with similar studies at other energies and with other incident particles. Results are also presented for the semi-inclusive reaction π − p → p ϱ 0 + X − and the exclusive final state p π − ϱ 0 .

The reactions K + n → K + π + π − n, K + n → K 0 π + π − p and K + n → K + π − π 0 p have b investigated in a 3.8 event/μb K + d bubble chamber experiment with incident momenta of 2.2, 2.45 and 2.7 GeV/ c . Channel cross sections are given and the general characteristics of the production processes described. The isobar model is used in an attempt to determine the spin-parity structure of the final states.

As part of a program to determine proton-proton elastic-scattering amplitudes, we have measured the spin-spin correlation parameter CNN at 6 GeV/c. Measurements were made over the |t| range of 0.08 to 1.4 (GeV/c)2 using a polarized beam and a polarized target at the Argonne National Laboratory Zero Gradient Synchrotron.

Inclusive production of Σ + , Σ − and Σ 0 hyperons in K − p interactions at 14.3 GeV/ c has been studied and compared to Λ production. Cross sections are presented as a function of longitudinal and transverse momenta and compared to the pp → Σ + + anything data.

The missing mass spectrum opposite the proton in a 750 000 picture exposure, 13 GeV/ c π + p bubble chamber experiment, is investigated in two and four pion channels for structures observed or denied by boson spectrometers at the same energy in the reaction π − p→X − p.

Results are given from a study of 15 518 events of the reaction K + d → K + π − pp. The K + π − spin density matrix and the constraints imposed on it by positivity have been studied. Analyses of K + π − → K + π − elastic scattering have been carried out using methods developed by Estabrooks and Martin and Ochs and Wagner for the analogous case of ππ scattering. Results are found to be in agreement with earlier K π scattering studies using the reaction K + p → K + π − Δ ++ at much higher energies. The S-wave scattering length is found to be in agreement with the prediction of current algebra.

This report concerns itself with the study of four- or five-body final states produced by the interaction of 4.48-GeV/c K− mesons on neutrons. The data result from a 372 000-picture exposure in the Argonne National Laboratory 30-in. deuterium-filled bubble chamber. The reactions studied include (1) K−n→Λπ+π−π−, (2) K−n→Σ0π+π−π−, (3) K−n→Λπ+π−π−π0, (4) K−n→Λπ+π−π−MM, (5) K−n→Λπ−K+K−, and (6) K−n→Λπ−KL0KS0, where all the Λ particles decayed visibly. Evidence is presented for the existence of the Σ(1640) whose mass and width are 1642 ± 12 MeV/c2 and 55 ± 24 MeV/c2, respectively. The branching ratios are found to be consistent with an octet assignment. The A2 data are presented and are compatible with JPC=2++. In addition, the productions of ρ0, ω, and φ0 are discussed in conjunction with simultaneous Σ−(1385) production and the results are compared with quark-model predictions.

We observe an energy-dependent polarization of the Σ+ produced in the reaction π+n→K0Σ+ at incident beam momenta between 1.1 and 2.4 GeV/c. These data form a significant source of information on the Σ− polarization in the charge-symmetric reaction π−p→K+Σ−.
