We report a measurement of the differential cross section, d{\sigma}/d(cos {\theta}t), for top-quark-pair production as a function of the top-quark production angle in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV. This measurement is performed using data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.4/fb. We employ the Legendre polynomials to characterize the shape of the differential cross section at the parton level. The observed Legendre coefficients are in good agreement with the prediction of the next-to-leading-order standard-model calculation, with the exception of an excess linear-term coefficient, a1 = 0.40 +- 0.12, compared to the standard-model prediction of a1 = 0.15^{+0.07}_{-0.03}.

The differential cross section and analyzing power of the reaction pp → d π + were measured for nine incident proton energies between 725 and 1000 MeV. A magnetic spectrometer was used to detect either deuterons or pions. Cross-section and analyzing-power angular distributions were respectively fitted with Legendre polynomial and associated Legendre function expansions, the coefficients of which were found to vary smoothly with energy in the vicinity of the alleged 3 F 3 dibaryon resonance.

ENERGY VARIATION OF THE ANALYZING POWER IN THE REACTION P (polarized) P ---> D PI+

Precision measurements of the analyzing powers for the reaction ppol+p→d+π+ have been made at ≃ 550, 600, 650, 700, and 800 MeV. The data have been analyzed in terms of Legendre polynomials. It is found that excitation functions for both even and odd Legendre coefficients exhibit very similar resonant behaviors. It is concluded that the triplet amplitudes are as strongly dominated by the Δ(1232) as the well-known singlet amplitude, D21, and that the data do not exhibit any anomalous behavior suggestive of dibaryon resonances.

We present new data on the reaction K−p→Λη from 0.80 to 1.84 GeV/c. An interpretation is attempted in terms of the formation of known hyperon resonances.
