We report a null search for neutral heavy leptons produced unaccompanied by muons in 400-GeV/c proton-nucleon collisions in a magnetized beam dump and decaying in vacuum downstream. The upper limit on σB for L0's with Feynman x≳0.2 and θlab≲10 mrad with branching ratio B into two charged particles is σB≲2.8×10−35 cm2/nucleon at the 90% confidence level for masses below 1.0 GeV/c2 and lifetimes between 10−10 and 10−8 sec.

A Study of the Reactions $K^0_L p \to K^0_S p$, $\Lambda \pi^+$, $\Sigma^0 \pi^+$ and $\Lambda \pi^+ \pi^0$ Near 550-{MeV}/$c$

Engler, A. ; Keyes, G. ; Kraemer, R.W. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 18 (1978) 3061, 1978.
Inspire Record 6591 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24324

We present measurements of the differential and polarization cross sections for the reactions KL0p→Ks0p, Λπ+, Σ0π+, and Λπ+π0 made in a hydrogen bubble chamber exposed to a beam of KL0 with incident momentum 550±35 MeV/c. The quasielastic data imposes additional constraints on the partial-wave analyses of the KN and K¯N systems. Our data show no strong energy-dependent effects in the region of the reported Σ(1580), JP=32− state. The phase of the forward regeneration amplitude was found to be about - 160° independent of KL0 momentum.

Precision Measurement of Proton Proton Total Cross-section at the {CERN} Intersecting Storage Rings

Amaldi, U. ; Cocconi, G. ; Diddens, A.N. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 145 (1978) 367-401, 1978.
Inspire Record 131412 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.34944

The measurement of the proton-proton total cross section performed by the CERN-Pisa-Rome-Stony Brook Collaboration at the CERN ISR is discussed in detail. The total interaction rate, the elastic scattering rate in the forward direction, and the machine luminosity were measured simultaneously to obtain three different determinations of the total cross section. Consistent results were found, which made it possible to prove the reliability of the Van der Meer luminosity calibration within +-0.9% and to achieve a precision of +-0.6% in the measurement of the total cross section.

Precise Tests of Triple Regge Theory From $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ Inclusive Production in 100-{GeV}/$c \pi^\pm p$ Collisions

We present data on π0 and η inclusive production from 100-GeV/c π±p collisions in the kinematic region x>~0.7 and 0<−t≲4 (GeV/c)2. The results are in excellent agreement with the predictions of triple-Regge theory and we have extracted the ρ and A2 trajectories out to −t=4 (GeV/c)2.

Backward $K^- p$ Elastic Scattering and 0-degree $\Sigma^- \pi^+$ Production

Phys.Rev.D 21 (1980) 1191-1205, 1980.
Inspire Record 131715 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24193

In this paper we report measurements of the backward K−p differential cross section at 49 momenta covering the momentum range 476-1084 MeV/c. The statistical precision achieved, typically 2.5%, is an order of magnitude better than previous measurements. The systematic errors for this reaction are about 1%. The differential cross section for the reaction K−p→Σ−π+ where the π+ emerges at 0° has also been measured at 32 momenta with comparable improvement in precision over previous experiments. A partial-wave analysis of the K¯N channels including the new K−p backward elastic data is presented.

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

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.

Charged Particle Multiplicity Distributions in pd and pn Interactions at 400 GeV/c

Dado, S. ; Barish, S.J. ; Engler, A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 20 (1979) 1589, 1979.
Inspire Record 140314 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24228

Charged-particle multiplicity distributions in 400-GeV/c pd interactions have been studied in an experiment in the Fermilab 30-inch bubble chamber. From the fractions of odd-prong and backward-proton events, a rescatter fraction of 0.22±0.01 is found (for N≥3). The pn multiplicity distribution is obtained from the odd-prong distribution plus a no-cascade assumption. After making one-prong and two-prong estimates, mean charged-particle multiplicities of 9.49±0.12 for pd (including slow particles) and 8.57±0.12 for pn are obtained. In the incident momentum range 100 to 400 GeV/c, pd and pp distributions are very similar to each other and are different from pn distributions.

Study of Electron - Positron Collisions at the Highest {PETRA} Energy

Phys.Lett.B 85 (1979) 463-466, 1979.
Inspire Record 141976 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27332

We report on the results of the study of e + e − collisions at the highest PETRA energy of √ s = 31.57 GeV, using the 4π sr, electromagnetic and calorimetric detector Mark J. Based on 88 hadron events, and an integrated luminosity of 243 nb −1 we obtain R = σ (e + e − → hadrons)/ σ (e + e − → μ + μ − ) = 4.0 ± 0.5 (statistical) ± 6 (systematic). The R value, the measured thrust distribution and average spherocity show no evidence for the production of new quark flavors.
