Cross-section, angular distribution and polarization measurements are presented at six incident π + energies for the reaction π + p → K + Σ + . Results at already studied energies are compatible with existing data and roughly agree with predictions of partial-waves analyses. However, new results around 1.920 GeV are in disagreement with such predictions, casting some doubt on the determination of decay branching ratios of the T = 3 2 isobars around this mass into K + Σ + .

A measurement of the polarization parameter P 0 in pp elastic scattering has been made at 24 GeV/ c over the range | t | = 0.1 to 0.9 (GeV/ c ) 2 , positive, falling to zero around | t | = 0.8 (GeV/ c ) 2 . For the range 0.1 ⪕ |t| ⪕ 0.4 GeV /c) 2 , P 0 is constant at about 0.03.
Axis error includes +- 5/5 contribution (SYS-ERR DUE MAINLY TO UNCERTAINTY IN KNOWLEDGE OF ABSOLUTE VALUE OF TARGET POLARIZATION).
We present data on the five final states Λω, Λφ, Λϱ 0 , Σ 0 ⊘ and Σ 0 ϱ 0 produced in 3.1–3.6 GeV/ c K − p interactions. These data are from a bubble chamber experiment with 18 events/μb. For all reactions the data consist of the overall and differetial cross sections, and the hyperon polarisation and the vector meson's density matrix elements as a function of momentum transfer. For Λω and Λ⊘, an almost complete amplitude analysis is performed in several regions of momentum transfer. The data are examined from the point of view of various exchange models.

We have measured elastic scattering of 5 and 6 GeV photons on hydrogen and deuterium in the angular range 10–50 mrad. On hydrogen we observe a forward diffraction peak with a slope of 8.5 (GeV/ c ) −2 . The extrapolated forward cross sections in units μ b/(GeV/ c ) 2 are 0.82 ± 0.04 at 5 GeV and 0.79 ± 0.04 at 6 GeV. They are consistent with the calculated amplitudes obtained from total cross section measurements via the optical theorem and dispersion relations assuming negligible contributions of spin-dependent amplitudes. Deuterium cross sections show a transition from coherent scattering at low | t | to incoherent scattering at higher | t |. They indicate that the isovector exchange amplitude a 1 is very small compared to the isoscalar a 0 . We obtain |a 1 | 2 /|a 0 +a 1 | 2 =0.13±0.09 , Re (a 0 a ∗ 1 )/|a 0 +a 1 | 2 =0.0±0.03, at 5 GeV , |a 1 | 2 /|a 0 +a 1 | 2 =−0.12±0.15 , Re (a 0 a ∗ 1 )/|a 0 +a 1 | 2 =0.10±0.04, at 6 GeV .

Qausi-elastic ω production by ep scattering in the kinematic region 0.3. < Q 2 < 1.4 GeV 2 and 1.7 < W < 2.8 GeV was studied using a streamer chamber at DESY. The production angular distribution for γ V p → ω p has a strong non-peripheral component for W < 2 GeV. The ω production cross section falls by a factor of 4 as W changes from 1.7 to 2.8 GeV. In contrast the cross section for ω production with | t | < 0.5 GeV 2 is W independent between 1.7 and 2.8 GeV and for W > 2.0 GeV consistent in both W and Q 2 dependence with the predictions of a model based on one-pion exchange and diffraction.

Differential cross sections and polarizations have been measured for the backward peaks in the reactions π − p →Λ K 0 and π − p →Λ K ∗ (890) at 8 GeV/c. The experiment was performed with a liquid hydrogen target at the ω spectrometer. The cross sections for u′>−2 ( GeV /c) 2 are 0.27 ± 0.03 μ b for π − p →Λ+ K 0 and 0.55±0.07 μ b for π − p →Λ K ∗0 . Large positive Λ polarization was observed in both reactions for u ′>−0.5 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The dominant production mechanism was found to be unnatural baryon exchange.

Photons of 3 GeV and 5 GeV were scattered on 7 different elements, ranging from Be to Au, and detected with a pair spectrometer. The angular distributions show diffractive patterns consistent with known nuclear sizes. Forward cross sections are 20–30% lower than expected from an A 2 dependence. This shadowing effect is qualitatively explained by photon interactions via intermediate hadronic states.

Evidence is presented for production of Ξ* resonances, decaying into Ξπ, Ξ(1530)π, ΛK¯, and ΣK¯, in K−p interactions at 2.87 Gev/c. The data represent final combined results from a 30-events/μb hydrogen exposure and an 18-events/μb exposure in deuterium designed to study Ξ* production in the mass interval 1.46-2.07 GeV/c2. In addition to Ξ(1820) and Ξ(1940), signals have been observed at masses of 1630 MeV/c2 and 1860 MeV/c2 decaying into Ξ−π+ and YK¯, respectively. Reaction cross sections have been measured for all final states containing two visible signs of strangeness, and for the final states ΛK−K+ and Σ0K−K+.

The angular distribution of the inclusive reaction 4 He + p → 3 He + X was measured with 6.85 GeV/ c incident alphas. At large angles, the observed kinematics corresponds to the elastic scattering on the target proton of an 3 He present in the incoming 4 He, the remaining neutron being a spectator. This shows the presence of an important component of 3 He in 4 He. The integrated cross section for 3 He production is σ 3He = 24.1 ± 1.9 mb.
