The differential cross section for elastic scattering of positive pions on protons has been measured at a nominal incident-meson kinetic energy of 250 MeV. The angular range covered in the center of mass by the 13 data was 14.9° to 160°. The fractional rms errors were typically 1.5%. A liquid-hydrogen target was bombarded by a beam of 2.5×106 mesons/sec. The scattered pions were detected by a counter telescope. Recoil protons were eliminated by means of a Čerenkov counter. A phase-shift analysis was performed combining the above-mentioned data with the recoil-proton polarization measurements taken recently with the help of a polarized proton target. Only one acceptable SPD Fermi-type phase-shift set was found. When F waves were included, a total of three possible phase-shift solutions emerged from the analysis. However, arguments based on the data could still be made to eliminate all but one phase-shift set. On the other hand, the remaining phase-shift set, similar in type to the SPD solution, suffers from the disadvantage of large rms errors assigned to its small phase shifts.

The polarization parameter in proton-proton scattering has been measured at incident proton kinetic energies of 1.7, 2.85, 3.5, 4.0, 5.05, and 6.15 BeV and for four-momentum transfer squared between 0.1 and 1.0 (BeV/c)2. The experiment was done with an unpolarized proton beam from the Bevatron striking a polarized proton target. Both final-state protons were detected in coincidence and the asymmetry in counting rate for target protons polarized parallel and antiparallel to the scattering normal was measured. The maximum polarization was observed to decrease from 0.4 at 1.7 BeV to 0.2 at 6.1 BeV. The maximum of the polarization at all energies studied occurs at a four-momentum transfer squared of 0.3 to 0.4 (BeV/c)2.

We have performed an experiment to study the reaction π−+p→η+n near threshold, preliminary to a forthcoming measurement of charge asymmetry in η-meson decay. The η was identified by the velocity of the associated neutron. We detected neutrons produced in the forward hemisphere in the center-of-mass system corresponding to the most energetic neutrons in the laboratory. Data were taken at π− momenta between 670 and 805 MeVc. The four neutron detectors made it possible to detect neutrons at angles of 0° to 21° from the incident pion beam. We present backward differential cross sections for both pion charge exchange and η production calculated from the data. We looked for η′ at pion momenta of 1.5 BeVc and observed none. We obtained σ(π−p→nη′)≤60 μb.

The polarization parameter in elastic π−p scattering has been measured, at the Berkeley 184-in. synchrocyclotron, with the use of a polarized proton target. At 318-, 337-, and 390-MeV incident pion kinetic energy, the angular range from 70° to 180° in the center-of-mass system was covered. At 229 MeV, polarization measurements were made in the angular range 150° to 180°. Phase-shift analyses, using these and other published data, were made at the two lowest energies.

The production of N ∗ (1400) isobar in the reaction pp → pN ∗+ (1400), where N ∗ (1400) → n π + and p π 0 , is investigated with the aid of one-pion exchange model. The one-pion exchange mechanism does not seem to dominate the production process. The isospin of N ∗ (1400) is found to be I = 1 2 , and the elasticity of the resonance is estimated to be 0.66.
Axis error includes +- 0.0/0.0 contribution (?////Due to fitting mass spectrum).
Final states with a Ξ− hyperon have been studied in 5.5-GeV/c K−p interactions. Center-of-mass production angular distributions for the Ξ− have a peak in the beam direction, while those for the K+ or K0 meson peak in the opposite direction. Approximately half of the observed events involve the Ξ*(1530) or K*(890) resonances. The four- and five-body final states show production of the Ξ*(1930) in the Ξ−π+,0 mass spectrum and a narrow peak at 2295 MeV in the Ξ−π+π− mass spectrum. The mass of the Ξ− hyperon is 1321.9±0.5 MeV as determined from 195 Ξ− decays with a visible Λ decay, assuming a Λ-hyperon mass of 1115.58 MeV.

The differential cross-section of the reaction γ p→ η p has been measured at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) at mean photon energies of 4 and 6 GeV in the momentum transfer range between zero and 1.4 GeV 2 . The data show a slight maximum around t =−0.15 GeV 2 and fall off smoothly till t =−1.4 GeV 2 . There is no indication of a dip around t =−0.5 GeV 2 .

Proton-proton elastic differential cross sections have been measured for incident laboratory momenta of 600-1800 MeVc and c.m. angles of 5°-90°. The data span, in a single experiment, the intermediate energy region from isotropic differential cross sections at lower energies to the development of a clear diffraction peak at higher energies. Parameters for phenomenological formulations derived from the experimental results are presented.

Resilts are reported on the four-pion final state from antiproton annihilations in hydrogen in the vicinity of 940 MeV/ c . The cross section for π − π − π + π + is found to be 3.6 mb. Abundant resonance production is observed, with fits indicating that quasi-two-body production constitutes approximately half the four-pion events. The model employed, which includes resonance production and Bose symmetrization, yields excellent fits to mass distributions and angular correlations.
