The excitation functions for positive pion production from hydrogen have been obtained in the energy region from 230 Mev to 450 Mev and at laboratory pion angles of 24°, 38°, 53°, 73°, 93°, 115°, 140°, and 160°. The pions are detected and identified by measuring their range and ionization in a scintillation counter telescope. The above data are analyzed to give the angular distributions in the center-of-momentum system, and a least-squares analysis made to determine coefficients in σ(θ)=A+Bcosθ+Ccos2θ. The total cross section shows a peak at 300 Mev of magnitude 2.20×10−28 cm2. The coefficient B passes through a maximum negative value at 250 Mev and then passes through zero at 325 Mev and remains positive up to the highest energy measured.

A simple, large-solid-angle apparatus, specially suited for the measurement of backward elastic scattering of medium-energy pions on protons and deuterons, is described. The method of analysis which reduces background and determines elastic events from a data sample of 185 MeV negative pions incident on a D 2 O target is discussed. Results for 141 MeV π + p and 185 MeV π − p backward cross-sections are also presented and compared with cross-sections calculated from known phase shifts.

This paper completes the detailed presentation of our PV experiment on the 6S1/2 - 7S1/2 transition in Cs. A detailed description of the data acquisition and processing is given. The results of two independent measurements made on ΔF = 0 and ΔF =1 hfs components agree, providing an important cross-check. After a complete reanalysis of systematics and calibration, the precision is slightly improved, leading to the weighted average Im Epv 1/β = - 1.52 ± 0.18 mV/cm. Later results from an independent group agree quite well. With the semi-empirical value β = (26.8 ± 0.8) a30, our result yields Epv1 = (- 0.79 ± 0.10) x 10-11 i |e|a0. Coupled with the atomic calculations, this implies that the weak nuclear charge of Cs is Qw = -68 ± 9. This value agrees with the standard electroweak theory and leads to a weak interaction angle sin2 θ W = 0.21 ± 0.04. The complementarity of these measurements with high energy experiments is illustrated.

Combined of the two above measurements following the philosophy: quadratic sum of the statistical and systematic uncertainties and weighting each result by the squared reciprocal of that uncertainty. (7s)2S1/2 --> (6s)2S1/2 transitions.

Data obtained with 30 cm long target.
Data from E.Zavattini, Proc. Conf. on Nuclear and Particle Physics at Intermediate Energies with Hadrons, Miramare ( Trieste), 1985, eds. T.Bressani and G.Pauli ( Italian Physical Socirty, Bologna, 1986) p.241. Data obtained with 1.27*1.27*7.62 cm**3 target.
The π − yield in the momentum range 500–740 MeV/ c produced by 800 MeV protons incident on targets of Be and C has been measured at laboratory production angles between 0° and 20°. The yield of 725 MeV/ c π − from Be and C at 0° is a factor of 6 greater than at 20°, for 600 MeV/ c π − the factor is 3. The yield from beryllium is typically 30% higher than from carbon.
