Results are presented of differential cross-section measurements for the reaction π − p→ π 0 n; π 0 → γγ at 22 incident pion momenta between 618 and 2724 MeV/ c . The results are in good agreement with those of other experiments. They represent the first comprehensive set of high statistics measurements of the π − p charge-exchange differential cross section at closely spaced momenta in the resonance region.

An experiment designed to study the π−p total neutral cross section and its breakdown into several channels has been performed at eleven incident pion momenta ranging from 654 to 1247 MeV/c. Angular distributions for the charge exchange π0 and for η0 production are given in terms of Legendre-polynomial expansion coefficients. Forward and backward differential cross sections are presented for the charge-exchange channel and comparisons with recent dispersion-relation predictions for the forward cross section are made.

Final results are presented from a spark-chamber experiment performed at the Princeton-Pennsylvania Accelerator to measure the differential cross section near 0° for the reaction π−p→π0n. The data are extrapolated to 0° and the results of the extrapolation are compared with the results of other experiments and with dispersion relation predictions. The values of the forward-scattering amplitude for the fifteen values of incident π− momentum at which measurements were made are as follows: (p (MeV/c), (dσdΩ)0° (mb/sr)): (561,3.28), (636,2.95), (687,3.38), (750,2.48), (802,1.33), (930,2.42), (1005,3.15), (1030,3.43), (1077,1.70), (1134,1.04), (1434,0.31), (1579,0.56), (1711,0.73), (1914,0.87), (2106,0.56). The combined statistical and systematic uncertainties in these values is about ±9%. A description of the apparatus, a discussion of the methods of analysis, and a discussion of the errors contributing to the uncertainties in the above results are included in the text.

Differential cross sections for the reaction π−p→π0n were measured at nine incident-pion kinetic energies in the interval from 500 to 1300 MeV. The negative pion beam from the bevatron was focused on a liquidhydrogen target completely surrounded by a cubic array of six steel-plate spark chambers. The spark chambers were triggered on events with neutral final states. Charge-exchange events were identified from the one-shower and two-shower events in the spark-chamber pictures. By the Monte Carlo technique, the π0 distributions were calculated from the bisector distributions of the two-shower π0 events together with the observed γ-ray distributions of the one-shower π0 events. These π0 distributions were fitted with both Legendre-polynomial expansions and power-series expansions by the method of least squares. The extrapolated forward differential cross sections are in good agreement with the dispersion calculations. The Legendre coefficients for the differential cross sections in isospin state T=12 were obtained by combining our results with available data on π±p elastic scattering. In the light of existing phase-shift solutions, the behavior of these coefficients is discussed. The D5F5 interference term that peaks near 900 MeV is verified to be in isospin state T=12 only. We report here also the total neutral cross sections and the cross sections for the production of neutral multipion final states 2π0n and 3π0n. The 4π solid angle and the calibrated energy response of the spark chambers contribute to the accuracy of the results.
