The total 1r- -p interaction cross sections (of) were measured with an accuracy of 1.5-2% for about 50 pion energies between 140 and 360 Mev. The pion energy was known to within ± 1%. No anomalies in the energy dependence of Of were found which could indicate the existence of a p0meson with a mass in the range of 270 to 410 Mev/c2• The data are inconsistent with the energy value E2 = 650 Mev for the second maximum of Of found by Frisch et al. 7 but agree with the conclusion drawn by Brisson et al. 8 that it should be located at a lower energy ( E2 :::::: 610 Mev). The data are in agreement with the dispersion relations for 1r- -p scattering. It is thus demonstrated that the PuppiStanghellini problem as such no longer exists and that it arose only as a result of an inaccurate knowledge of the total 1r--p interaction cross section.

The cross section asymmetry Sigma has been measured for the photoproduction of pi0-mesons off protons, using polarized photons in the energy range Eg = 0.5 - 1.1 GeV. The CM angular coverage is Theta = 85 - 125 deg with energy and angle steps of 25 MeV and 5 deg, respectively. The obtained Sigma data, which cover the second and third resonance regions, are compared with existing experimental data and recent phenomenological analyses. The influence of these measurements on such analyses is also considered.

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 .

The frequency of the protonium annihilation channel p p → K S K L has been measured at three different target densities: liquid hydrogen ( LH ), gaseous hydrogen at NTP conditions and gaseous hydrogen at low pressure (5 mbar). The obtained results are: f( p p → K S K L , LH) = (7.8 ± 0.7 stat ± 0.3 sys ) × 10 −4 , f( p p → K S K L , NTP) = (3.5 ± 0.5 stat ± 0.2 sys ) × 10 −4 and f( p p → K S K L , 5 mbar ) = (1.0 ± 0.3 stat ± 0.1 sys ) × 10 −4 . Since the K S K L final stat and be originated only from the 3 S 1 initial state, these values give direct information on the scaling of the protonium spin-triplet S-wave annihilation probability with the density.
Three different target densities: liquid hydrogen (LH), gaseous hydrogen atstandard temperature and pressure conditions (NTP), and gaseous hydrogen at 5 m bar pressure (LP). The annihilation proceeds only from 3S1 initial state.
The p̄p total annihilation cross section has been measured, with the Obelix apparatus at LEAR, at ten values of the antiproton incident momentum between 43 and 175 MeV/ c . The values of the cross section show that the well known 1 p behaviour of the annihilation cross section is drastically modified at very low momenta, which demonstrates the important role of the Coulomb force in low energy p̄p interaction. Moreover, they do not present any explicit resonant behaviour. Finally, when compared to potential model calculations, the data suggest that the percentage of P-wave in p̄p interaction around 50 MeV/ c antiproton incident momentum is less than 5%.

Results of the measurement of the φ meson parameters with the general purpose detector CMD-2 at the upgraded e + e − collider VEPP-2M at Novosibirsk are presented. This is the first measurement of the four major φ decay modes in a single e + e − experiment. The results based on about 55,600 identified hadronic events are consistent with previous measurements, and have precision comparable to the current world average.

The φπ + /ωπ + ratio from n¯p annihilations on a liquid hydrogen target, for n¯ momenta between 64 and 297 MeV/ c , was measured using the OBELIX spectrometer at LEAR. The ratio R(ϕπ/ωπ)=σ(n¯p→ϕπ+)/σ(n¯p→ωπ+) turned out 0.110±0.015 stat ±0.006 syst . Implications of this result on the OZI rule are discussed.
