The p¯p total inelastic cross section has been measured in a hydrogen bubble chamber for p¯ momenta from 100 to 550 MeV/c. Below 200 MeV/c the cross section increases rapidly to several barns. From this behavior it is inferred that high partial waves, perhaps to L=3, are important in the annihilation at the lowest momenta studied. An abrupt change in the momentum dependence of the total absorption cross section occurs at about 350 MeV/c in the vicinity of previously observed structure in backward elastic scattering.

Neutron-proton and neutron-deuteron total cross sections have been measured directly at the Princeton-Pennsylvania Accelerator using time of flight to determine the incident neutron momentum. The results cover the region from 700 to 2900 MeVc with a typical accuracy of 0.8% for each of 26 momentum bins. The data are not consistent with the most precise previous measurements in the same momentum range.

In the reaction p p → 3π + 3π − 2227 events, and in the reaction p p → 3π + 3π − π 0 6578 events have been analyzed. The general characteristics of the reactions, such as total cross sections, angular and momentum distributions, the production of ϱ, f, ω and η mesons, and angular correlations are presented.

Neutron-proton total cross-sections were measured in the momentum range from 8 GeV/ c to 21 GeV/ c with an accuracy of better than 2% using a 0 o neutron beam at the CERN Proton Synchrotron. The np total cross-section drops from 39.7 mb at 8 GeV/ c at 21 GeV/ c , and thus follows closely the pp total cross-sections in this momentum interval.

The charge excharge reaction K − p → K 0 n has been studied in a event/μb exposure of the CERN 2m hydrogen bubble chamber to a 3.95 GeV/ c K − beam. The differential cross section d σ /d t exhibits a change of slope at −1 ≈ 0.8 GeV 2 .

Approximately 700 events of the reaction K − d → K − π − pp s produced by 5.5 GeV/ c kaons were used to measure the cross section for Kπ elastic scattering in the T = 3 2 state by a Chew-Low extrapolation. The cross section does not exceed 2.1 mb and has no structure for Kπ masses from threshold up to 2.0 GeV.
Chew-Low extrapolation is used for evaluation of the K- P elastic cross section.
A systematic search for exotic states produced in K − d interactions at 3 GeV/ c is reported. From the analysis of the mass spectra of strange mesons, non-strange mesons, hyperons with S = −1 and S = −2, upper limits for the production cross sections of exotic resonances may be placed at one or two orders of magnitude smaller than for the production of normal resonances of same strangeness and baryon number.

We have measured the e + e − → ø reaction by its K + K − decay mode. Using our previous results on K O K O and the 3π decay mode of the ø mesons, we compute Γ ø → e + e − and then compare the whole Orsay results to theoretical predictions.

About 3700 two-prong and 5600 four-prong events of 10-GeV/c pp interactions in the Saclay 81-cm hydrogen bubble chamber have been measured and analyzed. The reliability of the identification of the different final states has been checked using Monte Carlo-generated events. For the channels accessible to analysis, cross sections and invariant-mass distributions are given. The c.m. angular distributions and the mean values of the transverse momentum for all final-state particles are shown and discussed. Production of Δ++(1236) accounts for about 30% of the cross section σ(pp→pnπ+)=4.1±0.4 mb. About 50% of the cross section σ(pp→ppπ+π−)=2.4±0.2 mb can be accounted for by Δ++ production. Production of nucleon isobars at 1450, 1520, and 1730 MeV and their subsequent decay into pπ+π− are investigated. Their cross sections, t dependences, and branching ratios are determined, using a one-pion-exchange model (OPEM) for calculating the background distributions. The production of resonances decaying into pπ− at 1236, 1500, and 1690 MeV is seen, and cross sections are given. Resonance production in the ppπ+π−π0 and pnπ+π+π− reactions is studied using background curves calculated with a model based on simple parametrizations of the c.m. momentum distributions. The production of nucleon isobars accounts for nearly 100% of these reactions. For the reactions pp→ppω, ppη, and ppf0, the cross sections found are 0.16±0.03, 0.16±0.07, and 0.10±0.04 mb, respectively, corrected for unobserved decay modes. It is shown that most of the gross features of the pion-production reactions can be explained by the OPEM with the form factors of Ferrari and Selleri.
