The results of a wire chamber spectrometer experiment studying K ∗ (890) production in the reaction K − p→ K − π + n at 13 GeV are presented. Strong forward structure is observed for | t |< m 2 π in the s -channel density matrix elements and differential cross section. These features are similar to those observed in π − p→ϱ 0 n data and are characteristics of π exchange. In contrast in the intermediate, | t | ∼ 0.2 GeV 2 , and large momentum transfer regions K ∗ (890) production is demonstrated by the natural parity ϱ−A 2 exchange contribution.

The differential cross section for π − p → π 0 n has been measured in the t range 1.8 ⩽ | t | ⩽ 8.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 by a counter-spark chamber experiment detecting the neutron and both π 0 decay photons. A broad minimum was found, centered at | t | = 5.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 .

The p¯p elastic-scattering differential cross section shows a minimum at t∼0.5 (GeV/c)2 and a secondary maximum at t∼0.9 (GeV/c)2. The total cross section for the annihilation process p¯+p→π−+π+ is 6.6±3.5 μb; the cross section for p¯+p→K−+K+ is <2.2 μb.
