Data on inclusive kaon production in e+e− annihilations at energies in the vicinity of the ϒ(4S) resonance are presented. A clear excess of kaons is observed on the ϒ(4S) compared to the continuum. Under the assumption that the ϒ(4S) decays into BB¯, a total of 3.38±0.34±0.68 kaons per ϒ(4S) decay is found. In the context of the standard B-decay model this leads to a value for (b→c)(b→all) of 1.09±0.33±0.13.

ACCEPTANCE CORRECTED MOMENTUM DISTRIBUTIONS FOR CONTINUUM AND UPSILON EVENTS WITH THE CONTINUUM SUBTRACTED.
Measurements of multihadron production in e+e− annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 2.6 and 7.8 GeV are presented. Aside from the narrow resonances ψ(3095) and ψ(3684), the total hadronic cross section is found to be approximately 2.7 times the cross section for the production of muon pairs at c.m. energies below 3.7 GeV and 4.3 times the muon-pair cross section at c.m. energies above 5.5 GeV. Complicated structure is found at intermediate energies. Charged-particle multiplicities and inclusive momentum distributions are presented.

We present data on\(\bar pn\) and π− n collisions obtained from an exposure of the 30′' FNAL deuterium filled bubble chamber to a mixed\({{\bar p} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\bar p} {\pi ^ -}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\pi ^ -}}\) beam with a momentum of 100 GeV/c. We find that in 17±2% of the collisions with the antiproton there is an interaction on the spectator while for the collisions with π− mesons the corresponding number is 15±2%. The\(\bar pn\) and π− n multiplicity distributions have average charged multiplicities of 6.46±0.07 and 6.53±0.08 respectively. The average multiplicities for both types of interactions are slightly smaller than those for the corresponding reactions on hydrogen by an amount that is the same as observed at other energies. As an estimate of\(\bar pn\) annihilation we have calculated the difference\(\sigma _n (\bar pn) - \sigma _n (pn)\) for each prong numbern. We find an average multiplicity of 9±1, a value close to that for\(\bar pp\) annihilation at the same energy. combining our data with lower energy\(\bar pn\) annihilation data, we observe that the average negative multiplicity is systematically larger than that for\(\bar pp\) annihilation similar to the difference between neutron and proton target data with other beam projectiles.

We study the multiplicity distribution of charged particles produced in 28-GeV/c pd interactions in the BNL 80-inch deuterium bubble chamber. We find that (18.3 ± 2.9)% of the three- and more-prong pd events result from double scattering in deuterium, a fraction observed to be constant from 28-to-400-GeV/c incident momentum. We extract pn topological cross sections from the odd-prong pd data by correcting for the effects of spectator visibility, double scattering, and Glauber screening. We find the dispersion of 28-to-400-GeV/c pd multiplicity distributions to have the same linear dependence on the mean multiplicity as found for pp data, while the pn data exhibit a different dependence. Both the pd and pn multiplicity distributions at 28 GeV/c are observed to be inconsistent with Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling.
