The energy dependence of the total cross section for the pp \to pK^+\Lambda reaction was measured in the threshold region covering the excess energy range up to 7MeV. Existing model calculations describe the slope of the measured cross sections well, but are too low by a factor of two to three in rate. The data were used for a precise determination of the beam momentum of the COSY-synchrotron.
Only statistical errors are presented in the table.
Analyzing powers for πp elastic scattering were measured using the CHAOS spectrometer at energies spanning the Δ(1232) resonance. This work presents π+ data at the pion kinetic energies 117, 130, 139, 155, 169, 180, 193, 218, 241, and 267 MeV and π− data at 87, 117, 193, and 241 MeV, covering an angular range of 50°<~θc.m.<~180° at the higher energies and 90°<~θc.m.<~180° at the lower energies. Unique features of the spectrometer acceptance were employed to reduce systematic errors. Single-energy phase shift analyses indicate the resulting S11 and S31 phases favor the results of the SM95 phase shift analysis over that of the older KH80 analysis.

The electromagnetic form factors of the neutron in the time-like region have been measured for the first time, from the threshold up to q 2 ⋟ 6 GeV 2 . The neutron magnetic form factor turns out to be larger than the proton one; the angular distribution suggests that for the neutron, at variance with the proton case, electric and magnetic form factors could be different. Further measurements are also reported, concerning the proton form factors and the Σ Σ production, together with the multihadronic cross section and the J / Γ branching ratio into n n .
The uncertainty on the evaluated cross section is given by the quadratic combination of the following terms: the statistical uncertainty on the number of events, the statistical and systematic uncertainty on the luminosity (about 6PCT), the systematic uncertainty on the efficiency evaluation, dominated by the scanning efficiency contribution (about 15PCT). The SQRT(S) values with (C=NOMIN) and (C=SHIFT) correspond to the nominal energy and shifted energy analysis (see text of paper for details).

The NEUTRON formfactor value are calculated in two hypotheses: GE = GM and GE = 0.

The pion induced pion production reactions π±p→π+π±n were studied at projectile incident energies of 223, 243, 264, 284, and 305 MeV, using a cryogenic liquid hydrogen target. The Canadian High Acceptance Orbit Spectrometer was used to detect the two outgoing pions in coincidence. The experimental results are presented in the form of single differential cross sections. Total cross sections obtained by integrating the differential quantities are also reported. In addition, the invariant mass distributions from the (π+π−) channel were fitted to determine the parameters for an extended model based on that of Oset and Vicente-Vacas. We find the model parameters obtained from fitting the (π+π−) data do not describe the invariant mass distributions in the (π+π+) channel.
Total cross sections were obtained by integrating the differential cross section over all three variables: M(pi,pi)**2, t, Cos(Theta(pi)).

The reaction p ̄ p→K + K − π 0 was analysed for antiproton annihilations at rest at three hydrogen target densities. A strong dependence of the p ̄ p→φπ 0 yield on the quantum numbers of the initial state is observed. The branching ratio of the φπ 0 channel from the 3 S 1 initial state is more than 15 times larger than the one from the 1 P 1 state. A large apparent violation of the OZI rule for tensor meson production from p ̄ p -annihilations from the P -waves (1 ++ +2 ++ ) is observed: R exp ( f ′ 2 π 0 / f 2 π 0 )=(149±20)·10 −3 , significantly exceeding the OZI-rule prediction R =16·10 −3 .

Associated strangeness production in the reactions γp → K + Λ and γp → K + Σ 0 was measured with the SAPHIR detector at the electron stretcher ring ELSA at Bonn. Data on total and differential cross sections and on hyperon polarizations are presented. The total cross section for Λ production shows a strong threshold enhancement whereas the Σ 0 data have a maximum at about E γ =1.45 GeV. Along with the angular decomposition of the differential cross section into polynomials, this suggests resonance production. However, the angular distributions of both hyperon polarizations vary only slightly with the photon energy. Λ and Σ 0 polarizations show opposite signs and change sign over the angular range.

The total cross section for the π−p→π−π+n reaction has been measured at incident pion kinetic energies of 200, 190, 184, and 180 MeV. In addition, the π+p→π+π+n reaction was measured at 200 and 184 MeV. A fit of the cross sections by heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory yields values of 8.5±0.6(mπ−3) and 2.5±0.1(mπ−3) for the reaction matrix elements A10 and A32, which correspond to values for the s-wave isospin-0 and isospin-2 π−π scattering lengths of a0=0.23±0.08(mπ−1) and a2=−0.031±0.008(mπ−1), respectively.

We have searched for first generation scalar leptoquark (LQ) pairs in the enu+jets channel using ppbar collider data (integrated luminosity= 115 pb^-1) collected by the DZero experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1992-96. The analysis yields no candidate events. We combine the results with those from the ee+jets and nunu+jets channels to obtain 95% confidence level (CL) upper limits on the LQ pair production cross section as a function of mass and of beta, the branching fraction to a charged lepton. Comparing with the next-to-leading order theory, we set 95% CL lower limits on the LQ mass of 225, 204, and 79 GeV/c^2 for beta=1, 1/2, and 0, respectively.
The cross section values are extracted with the assumption that BR(LQ --> EQUARK) = 1/2.
