The production of the peripheral 3 π mass enhancement in the A 1 region is described. The differential cross section and its variation with 3 π mass is studied and the spin density matrix elements are given for the t -channel and s -channel helicity frames. As observed in π − p interactions t channel but not s channel helicity is conserved. A Deck type double Regge trajectory exchange amplitude gives good fits to the experimental distributions. Its use is supported by the equality of ϱ 0 0 for the A 1 and ϱ 00 for the ϱ in the t -channel, as noted by Donohue.
THE SPIN DENSITY MATRIX ELEMENTS FOR THE RHO (P=4) FROM A1 DECAY ARE IN THE RHO T-CHANNEL FRAME.
The reaction K − d → K − π + π − n p s was studied in a bubble chamber experiment. The cross section was measured to be 1.3 ± 0.2 mb. The final state is dominated by K ∗0 (890) , K ∗0 (1420) and Δ − (1236) production. Partial cross sections, differential cross sections and decay angular distributions of the K ∗0 (890) δ − (1236) final state were found to give good agreement with the predictions of Białas and Zalewski obtained from the quark model. The final state K − π + Δ − (1236) is analyzed by use of the Van Hove plot.

A study of π − p → K ∗ Λ and π − p → K ∗ Σ° at 3.9 GeV /c indicates that the main features of both reactions can be interpreted in terms of simple exchange processes, the first involving both natural and unnatural exchange, the second showing evidence for natural parity exchange only.

Results are presented on effective-mass distributions, differentisl cross sections and longitudinal c.m. momentum distributions for the channels K − p → K − p π o , K o p π − and K − π + n , obtained from a sample of approximately 28 000 inelastic two-pronged interactions at 4.2 GeV/ c incident momentum. The results are in satisfactory agreement with the prediction of a generalized Veneziano-model corrected for (non-dual) π -and pomeron exchange. For the channel K − pπ o pomeron exchange contributes about 20% of the cross section. In the channel K − π + n the dual, pion and pomeron contributions are responsible for resp. 15%, 65% and 20% of the total cross section.

We report on A + 2 production in a π + p experiment at 5.45 GeV/ c . The fitted values for the mass and width are given, and the production characteristics are illustrated by the momentum transfer distributions and average density matrix elements. A depletion of events is observed near 1.3 GeV which favours a double pole amplitude or two interfering resonances over a simple Breit-Wigner formula.

The non-strange four-prong events of π + p interactions at 3.5 GeV/ c are studied. Cross sections are calculated for all resonance productions in the channels π + p → p π + π + π − ( σ T = 3.18 ± 0.13 mb) and π + p → p π + π + π − π o ( σ T = 4.03 ± 0.16 mb). The dominant two body reactions Δ ++ ϱ o and Δ ++ ω o are investigated in detail, and production and decay distributions are presented as well as joint decay density matrix elements and joint correlation terms. The Δ ++ ϱ o reaction is compared to predictions of OPE with absorption and the Δ ++ ω o is compared to rho-exchange with sharp cutoff.

Decay correlation data for π − p → K ∗ Λ at 3.9 GeV /c are analyzed to determine the amplitude structure. We emphasize combinations of observables invariant under rotations between s and t channel frames.

Results are presented of a study of the reaction π+p→ρ+p at 2.67 GeV/c incident π+ momentum. The contributions due to given spin-parity exchanges are isolated; and, by combining these results with those of a similar π− experiment, the It=0 component of each series is separated. The ω (I=0, JPG=1−−) exchange contribution shows a pronounced dip at −t=0.4 (GeV/c)2. Evidence is presented for the exchange of a state of minimum quantum numbers, H (I=0, JPG=1+−).

We present the results of an analysis of data for the reaction π−p→KS0K−p at 20.3-GeV/c incident π momentum. We find that the K0K− effective-mass spectrum shows a single peak in the A2 region which is well fitted by a Breit-Wigner shape. The data in the A2-peak region are inconsistent with the split-A2 shape reported earlier. The distribution in t of the A2 events shows a forward dip followed by an exponential falloff. The A2 decay angular distribution is well fitted by a single resonance with quantum numbers JP=2+. The results of an analysis of the density-matrix elements for this reaction are given.
