Evidence for a High Mass Enhancement in $K^+ K^-$ Photoproduction

The Bonn-CERN-Ecole Poly-Glasgow-Lancaster-Manchester-Orsay-Paris-Rutherford-Sheffield collaboration Aston, D. ; Atkinson, M. ; Bailey, R. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 104 (1981) 231-234, 1981.
Inspire Record 165081 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31068

The reaction γ p → K + K − p has been investigated with tagged photons in the energy range of 20 < E γ < 70 GeV. A structure in the 1.7 GeV mass region is observed and interpreted in terms of a recurrence of the ø.

Measurement of Parity Nonconservation in Atomic Bismuth

Hollister, J.H. ; Apperson, G.R. ; Lewis, L.L. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 46 (1981) 643-646, 1981.
Inspire Record 942914 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20642

Parity-nonconserving optical rotation has been observed and measured on the 8757-ÅA magnetic-dipole absorption line in atomic bismuth vapor. The result, R≡Im(E1M1)=(−10.4±1.7)×10−8, is of the approximate size calculated with use of the Weinberg-Salam theory of the weak neutral-current interaction with sin2θW=0.23.

The Reaction $\gamma p \to p \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^-$ for Photon Energies From 25-{GeV} to 70-{GeV}

The Bonn-CERN-Ecole Poly-Glasgow-Lancaster-Manchester-Orsay-Paris-Rutherford-Sheffield collaboration Aston, D. ; Atkinson, M. ; Bailey, R. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 189 (1981) 15-39, 1981.
Inspire Record 164533 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.34258

Measurements of the reaction γ p → p π + π − π + π − are presented, in which π + π − π + π − systems with masses up to 3 GeV are produced from fragmentation of the incident photon. The reaction is dominated by production of the large peak of the ϱ′(1600) meson and, at higher masses ≳2 GeV, y production of jet-like 4 π systems. The ϱ′(1600) meson is produced by a predominantly s -channel helicity conserving mechanism. At higher masses there are also indications of ϱπ peaks, of masses 1.3 GeV (the A 2 meson) and 1.75 GeV, produced with a recoiling π meson by a mechanism consistent with the Deck effect.

Evidence for Planar Events and a Forward Double Jet Structure in Deep Inelastic Muon Scattering

The European Muon collaboration Aubert, J.J. ; Bassompierre, G. ; Becks, K.H. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 100 (1981) 433-438, 1981.
Inspire Record 164536 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31213

The final states of charged hadrons produced in 280 GeV μp scattering are analysed with respect to their planarity and jet structure. Distributions of p ⊥ 2 in and p ⊥ out 2 are presented. A two jet structure in the forward hemisphere is observed for events with high p ⊥ tracks are predicted by QCD models.

Experimental Test of the {Drell-Yan} Model in $p W \to \mu^+ \mu^- X$

Smith, S.R. ; Childress, S. ; Mockett, P.M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 46 (1981) 1607, 1981.
Inspire Record 164176 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20659

We report a high-statistics study of the reaction p+W→μ++μ−+X with use of an intense 400-GeV/c proton beam, a magnetized-iron beam dump, and a wide-acceptance detector. Using data near xF=0, we have extracted the nucleon sea-quark distribution and find it to be a factor 1.6±0.3 larger than that obtained by inelastic charged-current neutrino scattering. We then compare the Drell-Yan prediction with our data including the previously unexplored region of large xF and find excellent agreement for a wide range of μ-pair invariant mass.

Production of S = -2 and -3 Baryon States in 6.5-{GeV}/$c K^- P$ Interactions

Hassall, J.K. ; Ansorge, R.E. ; Carter, J.R. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 189 (1981) 397-420, 1981.
Inspire Record 172448 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.34253

We present results from a high statistics (46 events/μ;b) experiment on K − p interactions in the Argonne 12 foot bubble chamber. In particular we make a systematic search for Ξ ∗ resonances. We confirm recent evidence of a Ξ(2370), and see a number of other well established states. We also give cross sections for various exclusive and inclusive reactions, including those in which θ − are produced.

PRODUCTION OF F-prime (1520) IN 8.25-GEV/C K- P INTERACTIONS

Nucl.Phys.B 191 (1981) 26-38, 1981.
Inspire Record 172450 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.34233

We present results for the hypercharge exchange reaction K − p→f' λ from a high statistics experiment at 8.25 GeV/ c using the CERN 2m HBC. The total and differential cross sections have been measured; the polarisation of the Λ hyperon and the f' density matrix elements have been calculated as functions of momentum transfer. We also present detailed information on the relative strength of the natural and unnatural parity exchange contributions to the production mechanism.

Evidence for a New Pseudoscalar Meson

Bonesini, M. ; Donald, R.A. ; Edwards, D.N. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 103 (1981) 75-78, 1981.
Inspire Record 170357 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31149

Performing a PWA of the π − π − π + system over the −t p/p range 0.2 to 0.4 GeV 2 we find evidence for a J P = 0 − , J G =1 − meson of mass 1342 ± 20 MeV and width 220 ±70 MeV decaying into ϵπ. This state is produced by natural parity exchange with a slope similar to that of elastic scattering. It can be interpreted as a radial excitation of the π meson (π′).

Observation of a $K \bar{K}$ Enhancement at 1.85-{GeV} in the Reaction $K^- P \to K \bar{K} \Lambda$ at 8.25-{GeV}/c

The BIRMINGHAM-CERN-GLASGOW-MICHIGAN STATE-PARIS collaboration Al- Harran, S. ; Amirzadeh, J. ; Baubillier, M. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 101 (1981) 357-360, 1981.

In a high statistics ( ∼150 eV μb ) bubble chamber experiment on K − p interactions at 8.25 GeV c , the study of the reaction K − p → KK Λ provides evidence for an enhancement in the KK system with a mass of (1850 ± 10) MeV and a width of (80 −30 +40 ) MeV. Its possible identification with the missing isosinglet of the 3 − nonet is discussed. A K ∗ K decay mode is also observed.

BACKWARD PRODUCTION OF THE B (1235) MESON IN 11.46-GEV/C PI+ P INTERACTIONS

Wong, M.K. ; Key, A.W. ; Schwarzschild, B.M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 46 (1981) 974, 1981.
Inspire Record 169864 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20643

Evidence for the backward production of the B(1235) meson in the final state π+p→pfπ+ω at 11.46 GeV/c with σ(|u′|<1.5 GeV2)=1.28±0.26 μb is presented. When nucleon exchange is assumed to dominate, estimates for the SU(3) mixing parameter FD as well as the B coupling to the nucleon-antinucleon are given. Some indication of a narrow enhancement at M(π+ω)≃1.03 GeV/c2 is seen, but confirmation of this as a resonant state is not yet possible.
