Inspire Record 1364 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.32176

Studies have been made of the reactions π + p→p π + π + π − and π − p→p π + π − π − , both at an incident pion momentum of 18.5 GeV/ c . The two-body (primarily Δ ++ and ϱ o and three-body (low-mass A enhancement, A 3 , N ∗ (1400), and N ∗ (1700)) subsystems are discussed. Cross sections for all significant channels of the reactions are given.

Evidence for a New Meson Resonance at 2340-MeV

Baltay, C. ; Cautis, C.V. ; Cohen, Daniel H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 35 (1975) 891-901, 1975.
Inspire Record 103634 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21130

Evidence is presented for a new meson resonance at 2340±20 MeV, with a width of 180±60 MeV, decaying primarily into ρρπ. The resonance, which is observed in 15-GeV/c π+p interactions, has isotopic spin 1 or 2 and odd G parity. The cross section for production of the ρρπ state is 7.3±1.7 μb. Branching ratios into ρρπ and other decay modes are given.

Inspire Record 228262 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23503

We have searched for exclusive hadronic J/ψ production by looking for narrow resonances in the e+e− mass spectrum of the reaction π−p→e+e−n. No events were observed in the region around 3.1 GeV/c2. The cross section for the reaction π−p→J/ψ n at 13 GeV/c is no more than 103 pb at the 90% confidence level.

EXPERIMENTAL SEARCH FOR NARROW RESONANCES IN THE REACTION PI- P ---> GAMMA GAMMA N AT 13-GEV/C

Phys.Lett.B 140 (1984) 145-148, 1984.
Inspire Record 206508 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30553

Using a double arm electromagnetic calorimeter we have searched for narrow states produced in the exclusive reaction π − p→γγn at 13 GeV/c. No enhancements were observed in the mass range 2.0–4.0 GeV/c 2 . For example, the 90% confidence limit on η c production is σ ( π − p→ η c n)× B ( η c → γγ ) < 44 pb.

Meson Resonance Production in pi+ p Interactions at 15-GeV/c

Baltay, C. ; Cautis, C.V. ; Cohen, Daniel H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 17 (1978) 62, 1978.
Inspire Record 5627 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24406

We report on a study of 15-GeV/c π+p interactions of all topologies using the SLAC 82-in. hydrogen bubble chamber. A description is given of the automatic pattern-recognition techniques used to measure the events. Cross sections are given for meson-resonance production in all topologies. Evidence is presented for a new resonance decaying to five pions. A measurement is made of the branching ratios of the g meson. A study is made of low-mass enhancements in the diffractively produced ρπ, fπ, and gπ channels, and a search is made for nondiffractive production of the A1 meson.

Search for Charmed Particle Production in 15-GeV/c pi+ p Interactions

Baltay, C. ; Cautis, C.V. ; Cohen, Daniel H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 34 (1975) 1118, 1975.
Inspire Record 2041 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21924

A search for the production of charmed particles in 15-BeV/c π+p interactions has been carried out. The search was sensitive to charmed particles in the 1.5 to 4.0 BeV mass range, with lifetimes ≲10−11 sec, decaying into a strange particle with up to eight additional pions. No evidence for the production of such particles was found.
