The cross sections for K+p interactions at a center-of-mass energy of 3 GeV (4.3 GeV/c incident momentum) have been determined for the K+pπ+π−, K0pπ+π0, and K0π+π+n final states. The shape of the differential cross section dσdt′ for the quasi-two-body final state K*0(890)+Δ++(1236) is not a single exponential. Characteristics of the low-mass Kππ and pππ enhancements are discussed.

DECAY MOMENTS OF THE K*0 AND DEL++.
The observation of 70 000 K 0 p π + events produced with K + incident momenta of 1.21, 1.29, 1.38 and 1.69 GeV/ c allows a detailed description of the production and decay of the Δ(1236) and K ∗ (892) resonances which dominate the K 0 p π + final state. No striking variations with energy are observed. The associated production of Δ and K ∗ near threshold shows striking similarities with the same production at higher energy.

FIT 'A', ALLOWING FOR DELTA-K* INTERFERENCE (TWO OTHER FITS GIVEN IN PAPER).
S-CHANNEL HELICITY FRAME.
Cross sections are presented for the K + p interacttions with 2, 3, 4 and 5 particles in the final state for incident momenta between 2.1 and 2.7 GeV/c. The results are compared with those from other experiments at nearby momenta.
Axis error includes +- 0.0/0.0 contribution (?////).
Joint decay distributions have been studied in the reaction K + p → K ∗o (1420)Δ ++ at 5.0 GeV/ c in the transversity spin reference frame. Two alternative spin-parity assignments 2 + and 3 − for the K ∗ resonance have been considered and a comparison with the quark-model predictions has been made. The predictions of the quark model are equally well satisfied by the experimental results for both the 2 + and 3 − spin-parity assignments.
