We have studied hypercharge exchange in two pairs of line-reversed reactions at 7 GeV/ c incident beam momentum in a triggered bubble chamber experiment at the SLAC Hybrid Facility. The experiment was carried out with the particular object of testing the predictions of exchange degeneracy using the same apparatus. We present differential and total cross sections for the reactions π + p → K + Σ + , K − p →π − Σ + and π + p → K + Y ∗+ (1385), K − p →π − Y ∗+ (1385) from a π + exposure of sensitivity 150 events/μb and a K − exposure of 100 events/μb. In each case we have measured the polarization of the final-state hyperon for | t |<1.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 by direct observation of its decay in the bubble chamber. We present results from an amplitude analysis of the Y ∗ (1385) reactions and find agreement with the predictions of the additive quark model. The Σ + polarization data are consistent with weak exchange degeneracy but the predicted equality of the differential cross section is not observed.

The reactionsπ−p→K0∑0(1385) andπ−p→K+∑−(1385) are studied at an incident momentum of 3.95 GeV/c using data from a high statistics bubble chamber experiment corresponding to approximately 90 events/μb. The total and differential cross sections and the density matrix elements of the Σ(1385) are presented. The results are compared with those obtained for the related processesπpp→K+∑+(1385) and\(K^ -p \to \pi ^ \mp\sum ^ \pm(1385)\) in this energy range. Evidence is presented for the existence of production mechanisms with exotic exchanges in thet channel.

A detailed account is given of observations of parity nonconservation in the 6P122−7P122 transition in Tl81203,205. Absorption of circularly polarized 293-nm photons by 6P122 atoms in an E field results in polarization of the 7P122 state through interference of the Stark E1 amplitude with M1 and parity-nonconserving E1 amplitudes. This polarization is detected by selective excitation of mF=±1 components of the 7P122 state to the 8S122 state and observation of the ensuing decay fluorescence at 323 nm. Systematic corrections due to imperfect circular polarization, misaligned E fields, and residual magnetic fields are determined precisely by a series of auxiliary experiments. The result is expressed in terms of the circular dichroism δexpt=+(2.8−0.9+1.0)×10−3, to be compared with estimates based on the Weinberg-Salam model for sin2θw=0.23:δtheo=+(2.1±0.7)×10−3.
Used 99.999% pure thallium metal with natural isotopic abundances (29.5% Tl203, 70.5% Tl205). SIG(C=+),SIG(C=-) are the cross sections for absorption of 293-nm photons with +- helicity, respectively. Spin of the Tl nucleus is 1/2.
Parity-nonconserving optical rotation has been observed and measured on the 8757-ÅA magnetic-dipole absorption line in atomic bismuth vapor. The result, R≡Im(E1M1)=(−10.4±1.7)×10−8, is of the approximate size calculated with use of the Weinberg-Salam theory of the weak neutral-current interaction with sin2θW=0.23.

We have measured a parity violation in the 6S–7S transition of Cs in an electric field. Our result is Im E 1 pv β = -1.34 ± 0.22 ( rms statistical deviation ) ± ∼0.11 ( systematic uncertainty ) mV cm; E 1 pv is the parity violating electric dipole amplitude, ß is the vector polarizability. This result is consistent with the Weinberg-Salam prediction.

We have obtained a sample of 20 465 (2201) events in the channel pp→ ( Λ 0 K + )p at 50 (30) GeV/ c incident momentum with Geneva-Lausanne spectrometer at the CERN SPS. In this analysis we investigate: 1. (i) the production of N ∗ (I = 1 2 ) states in the mass region 1.6 ⩽ M ( Λ 0 K + ) ⩽ 2.6 GeV and momentum transfer 0.06 ⩽ | t | 1.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 , by studing the amplitudes and phases from a moment analysis of the decay angular distribution; 2. (ii) the contribution of the K-exchange Deck model for M ( Λ 0 K + < 2.22 GeV; 3. (iii) the double Regge exchange phenomenology for s Λ 0 K + > 5 GeV 2 and s Λ 0 K + p > 5 GeV 2 .

The parity violation induced by weak neutral currents is measured in a ΔF =1 hyperfine component of the 6S–7S transition of the Cs atom. The measured value ( Im E PV 1 β ) = −1.78 ± 0.26 (statistical rms deviation) ±0.12 (systematic uncertainty) mV/cm, agrees with our previous measurement in a ΔF =0 component, and constitutes an important cross-check. Our result excludes a parity violation induced by a purely axial hadronic neutral current.
