The reactions Λ p → Λ p, → Σ ± p π ∓ , → Λ p π + π − and → Σ 0 p have been studied in the SLAC 82 inch bubble chamber for incident Λ particles in the momentum range 1–10 GeV/ c . The incident Λ flux was produced by the exposure of a platinum target mounted inside the chamber to a 12 GeV K − beam. A total of 992 events have been analyzed. The reactions are found to be qualitatively similar to corresponding nucleon-nucleon reactions. In particular, the slope parameter B in the elastic cross section d σ /d t = A e Bt has been determined as a function of incident momentum and found to be consistent with that for proton-proton elastic scattering. Angular distributions for the inelastic channels are compared with those of similar nucleon-nucleon reactions, and predictions of relevant exchange models.

Approximately 12 000 examples of the reaction pp→Δ++(1236)n have been identified at 6 GeV / c in a spark-chamber experiment performed at the Argonne National Laboratory Zero Gradient Synchrotron. The experimental invariant-mass and momentum-transfer-squared distributions are in agreement with predictions of the Chew-Low one-pion-exchange model, suitably modified to account for form factors or absorption. The data have been extrapolated from the physical region to the pion pole. It is found that the Dürr-Pilkuhn and Benecke-Dürr models, in conjunction with quadratic extrapolations in t, reproduce the known on-mass-shell dependence of the cross section for the elastic π+p scattering.

We have observed an azimuthal asymmetry in inclusive hadron production by e+e− annihilation at the center-of-mass energy s=7.4 GeV. The asymmetry is caused by the polarization of the circulating beams in the storage ring and allows separate determination of the transverse and longitudinal structure functions. We find that transverse production dominates for x>0.2 where x is the scaling variable 2ps.
