We present measurements from a spark chamber experiment of the differential cross-sections for p p → π − π + , K − K + at 20 momenta in the range 0.8–2.4 GeV/ c (c.m. energy 2.02 to 2.57 GeV). The c.m. angular range was −0.95 < cos θ ∗ < 0.95 . There are about 2000π − π + events and about 300 K − K + events at each momentum.

Results are reported on K − -neutron interactions at c.m. energies near 2 GeV. The interactions are dominated by strong production of hyperon resonances, particularly Σ(1385), Λ(1405) and Λ(1520). Production cross sections and angular distributions are given for the Σ(1385), Λ(1405) and Λ(1520) and branching fractions to decay modes observed in the experiment are given for Σ(1385) and Λ(1520). The strong energy dependence of some features of the data suggests that s -channel effects are dominant.

Cross sections for π − p→n π o at 5.9, 10.1 and 13.8 GeV/ c incident momentum are presented in the angular region from 180 o to u , the crossed four-momentum transfer squared, of −2(GeV) 2 and the energy dependence is discussed. The cross section for π − p→n η o integrated over the same angular region at 5.9 GeV/ c is also presented.

Elastic π±−p, K−−p, and p¯−p scattering cross sections have been measured using three different experimental arrangements covering the c.m. angular regions ∼20°-120°, ∼135°-169°, and ∼165°-180° at incident momenta from 6 to 17 GeV/c. In the region 130°-180°, only π±−p scattering was measured. In the angular region near 180°, the energy dependences and shapes of the π−p backward peaks were determined up to crossed-momentum transfers of u∼−2 (GeV/c)2. At all energies, the π+−p backward peak had a sharp dip at u=−0.13 (GeV/c)2, with no similar effect in the π−−p case. Nearly complete angular distributions of π−−p elastic scattering from 20° to 180° have been obtained at 6 and 10 GeV/c. These results at 6 and 10 GeV/c as well as at 8 GeV/c reveal a sharp dip in π−−p scattering at t=−3 (GeV/c)2. Several structures in the form of dips or shoulders were seen in the p¯−p angular distributions also, with less pronounced structure observed in K−−p scattering. At fixed momentum transfer, all cross sections when expressed as dσdt appear to be decreasing with increasing energy.
