Cross sections and decay distribution moments are presented for the reaction p p → Δ ++ Δ ++ at 3.6 GeV/ c , and compared with previously published data at 9.1 and 12 GeV/ c . With the aid of the quark model, we have isolated the natural and unnatural parity exchange contributions and shown them to accord with expectations based on simple Regge-pole exchanges.

A measurement of the total $pp$ cross section at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV is presented. An integrated luminosity of $500$ $\mu$b$^{-1}$ was accumulated in a special run with high-$\beta^{\star}$ beam optics to measure the differential elastic cross section as a function of the Mandelstam momentum transfer variable $t$. The measurement is performed with the ALFA sub-detector of ATLAS. Using a fit to the differential elastic cross section in the $-t$ range from $0.014$ GeV$^2$ to $0.1$ GeV$^2$ to extrapolate $t\rightarrow 0$, the total cross section, $\sigma_{\mathrm{tot}}(pp\rightarrow X)$, is measured via the optical theorem to be: $\sigma_{\mathrm{tot}}(pp\rightarrow X) = {96.07} \; \pm 0.18 \; ({{stat.}}) \pm 0.85 \; ({{exp.}}) \pm 0.31 \; ({extr.}) \; {mb} \;,$ where the first error is statistical, the second accounts for all experimental systematic uncertainties and the last is related to uncertainties in the extrapolation $t\rightarrow 0$. In addition, the slope of the exponential function describing the elastic cross section at small $t$ is determined to be $B = 19.74 \pm 0.05 \; ({{stat.}}) \pm 0.23 \; ({{syst.}}) \; {GeV}^{-2}$.
The measured differential elastic cross section. In addition to the statistical and total systematic uncertainties, the following 22 systematic shifts are given, which are included in the profile fit with their signs: -- Constraints: Beam optics uncertainty obtained by varying the ALFA constraints in the optics fit -- QScan: Variation by +/- 0.1 % of the quadrupole strength -- Q2: Fit of the strength of Q2 using the best value for the strength of Q1 and Q3 -- Q5Q6: Variation of the strength of Q5 and Q6 by -0.2% as indicated by machine constraints -- MadX: Uncertainty related to the beam transport replacing matrix transport by MadX PTC tracking -- Qmisal: Uncertainty due to the mis-alignment of the quadrupoles in the beam line -- Q1Q3: Propagation of the optics fit uncertainty in the strenght of Q1 and Q3 on the differential elastic cross section -- Aopt: Alignment uncertainty from the optimization procedure -- Offv: Alignment uncertainty related to the vertical beam center offset -- Offh: Alignment uncertainty related to the horizontal beam center offset -- Ang: Alignment uncertainty related to the detector rotation in the x-y plane -- BGn: Uncertainty from the background normalization -- BGs: Uncertainty from the background shape -- MCres: Error from modelling of the detector response -- Slope: Residual dependence on the physics model estimated by varying the nuclear slope in the simulation by +/- 1 GeV^-2 -- Emit: Uncertainty from the emittance used to calculate beam divergence in the simulation -- Unf: Unfolding uncertainty from the data-driven closure test -- Trac: Uncertainty from the variation of the track reconstruction selection cuts -- Xing: Uncertainty from residual crossing angle in the horizontal plane -- Eff: Uncertainty from the reconstruction efficiency -- Lumi: Luminosity uncertainty (+/- 1.5%) -- Ebeam: Uncertainty from the nominal beam energy (+/- 0.65%) Small differences in the values given here compared to the published version are related to insignificant rounding issues.
The differential cross sections of the combined elastic and break-up K − d reaction have been measured at 1.21, 1.42 and 2.61 GeV/ c incident K − momentum. The measurements have been performed at the CERN PS using multiwire proportional chambers. The values of the invariant momentum transfer t explored (0.0005<| t |<0.1 GeV 2 ) include the Coulomb-nuclear interference region. The differential cross sections have been analysed in the framework of the Glauber impact-parameter formalism. The observed interference effects have been used to derive the ratio of the real to imaginary part of the forward K − n nuclear amplitude.

Data from the ANL 12-foot bubble chamber have been used to study the K¯0π− system in the reaction K−p→K¯0pπ− at 6.5 GeV/c. Signals for the production of K*(892), K*(1430), and K*(1780) were observed with cross sections of 181±22, 41.2±6, and 8.4±2.9 ≥b, respectively. The partial waves contributing to the production of the K¯0π− system from threshold up to 1.7 GeV were studied. The principal conclusions are: (i) K*(892) and K*(1430) production is dominated by natural-parity exchange, (ii) the ratio of unnatural- to natural-parity exchange increases with the resonance mass, consistent with the predictions of a triple-Regge model, (iii) there is evidence for a broad 0+ s-wave enhancement, with considerable s−d and s−p interference, centered at 1.2 GeV, and (iv) the m=2 amplitudes are negligible.

About 45000 interactions of antiprotons of kinetic energy between 57 and 170 MeV have been measured in a deuterium bubble chamber. Total and annihilation cross-sections have been determined at 9 values of the antiproton energy together with the differential crosssection dσ/dt for scattering events. In spite of the peculiar behaviour of the deuteron target at these low energies a reliable measure of the antiproton-neutron annihilation cross-section has been obtained.

We present differential and total cross sections for two reactions: π−p→K0Λ and π−p→K0Σ0. The incident pion momenta were 8, 10.7, and 15.7 GeVc. The results are based on an analysis of approximately 22 600 events of the two reactions where the π+ and π− from the decay of the KS0 were detected in the forward leg of the Double Vee Magnetic Spectrometer. The separation of Λ recoils from Σ0 recoils was accomplished by the missing-mass technique.

A high-mass Δ resonance is observed in several final states from π + p interactions at 10.3 GeV/ c . We obtain fitted mass and width values for this structure of 1871 ± 22 MeV and 205 ± 43 MeV, respectively. The branching ratios for decays to π + p, p π + π 0 , n π + π + and Σ + K + are found to be 0.48 ± 0.15, 0.26 ± 0.07, 0.24 ± 0.07 and 0.03 ± 0.01, respectively. The Δϱ, Δω differential cross sections and the ϱ 0 density matrix elements are examined.

In a new experiment we have obtained 3006 new events in the reaction π − p → φφ n, approximately doubling the statistics which now total 6658. A refined partial wave analysis of the φφ system again reveals three resonances (g T , g T′ , g T′' ) with I G J PC =0 + 2 ++ . The absence of the OZI suppression, and the observation of only three J PC =2 ++ states (g T , g T′ , g T′' ) which comprise virtually all the cross section are unusual characteristics of the data. The large φφn signal occurs over a mostly structureless and incoherent φK + K − n background. All these unusual characteristics are well explained if these states are produced by 1–3 glueballs (multigluon resonances).
Bubble chamber film of 10 GeV/ c K − p interactions was scanned automatically by an H.P.D. to look for small angle scatters in the | t |-range from 0.008 to 0.1 GeV 2 . Combining the 1800 events so obtained with 22 000 elastic events obtained from normal scanning (| t | > 0.06 GeV 2 ), the real part of the elastic scattering amplitude was found to be (+25 ± 10)% of the imaginary part. Evidence is found for a change in slope in the differential cross-section distribution, from 9.8 ± 0.6 GeV −2 in the | t |-range below 0.1 GeV 2 to 7.1 ± 0.2 GeV −2 in the range 0.12 < | t | ⩽ 0.4 GeV 2 .

Qausi-elastic ω production by ep scattering in the kinematic region 0.3. < Q 2 < 1.4 GeV 2 and 1.7 < W < 2.8 GeV was studied using a streamer chamber at DESY. The production angular distribution for γ V p → ω p has a strong non-peripheral component for W < 2 GeV. The ω production cross section falls by a factor of 4 as W changes from 1.7 to 2.8 GeV. In contrast the cross section for ω production with | t | < 0.5 GeV 2 is W independent between 1.7 and 2.8 GeV and for W > 2.0 GeV consistent in both W and Q 2 dependence with the predictions of a model based on one-pion exchange and diffraction.
