We have observed muons produced directly in Cu and W targets by 300-GeV incident protons. We find a yield of muons which is approximately a constant fraction (0.8·10−4) of the pion yield for both positive and negative charges and for transverse momenta between 1.5 and 5.4 GeV/c.

Differential cross sections for the photoproduction of pi-zero mesons from protons have been measured at angles between 10° and 70° c.m. in the energy range 0.85 GeV to 1.30 GeV. The values are compared with the fits to pion photoproduction data from three recent partial-wave analyses.

Measurements of differential cross sections for pi-zero photoproduction from protons have been made at angles between 60° and 140° c.m. in the photon energy range 0.7 GeV to 1.7 GeV. The data are compared with the rits provided by three recent partial-wave analyses of pion photoproduction and some significant discrepancies observed.

Studies have been made of the reactions π + p→p π + π + π − and π − p→p π + π − π − , both at an incident pion momentum of 18.5 GeV/ c . The two-body (primarily Δ ++ and ϱ o and three-body (low-mass A enhancement, A 3 , N ∗ (1400), and N ∗ (1700)) subsystems are discussed. Cross sections for all significant channels of the reactions are given.

Results are presented on the quasi-two body reactions π + p → Δ ++ π 0 and π + p → Δ s ++ η and 5.45 GeV/ c . Differential cross sections and Δ ++ spin density matrix elements in the t -channel and s -channel helicity systems are presented and compared with a Regge exchange model and the dual absorptive model.

We present the differential cross sections near u=0 for the reactions π−p→K0Λ and π−p→K*0(890)Λ at incident pion momenta of 8 and 10.7 GeV/c. The differential cross section for the first reaction follows the exponential dependence on u previously observed, while the second shows a dip in the backward direction.

We have measured, as a function of transverse momentum (p⊥), the invariant cross section Edσd3p for the production of π±, K±, p, p¯, d, and d¯ in proton collisions with a tungsten (W) target at incident proton energies of 200, 300, and 400 GeV. The measurements were made in the region of 90° in the c.m. system of the incident proton and a single nucleon at rest. Measurements were also made with 300-GeV protons incident on Be, Ti, and W targets of equal interaction length. These p-nucleus measurements, which show a strong dependence on atomic number at high p⊥, were used to extract effective proton-nucleon cross sections by extrapolation to atomic number unity. At large values of the scaling variable x⊥=2p⊥s, where s is the square of the c.m. energy, the pion data are found to be well represented by the expression (s)−ne−ax⊥, with n=11.0±0.4 and a=36.0±0.4. x⊥<0.35, where similar measurements have been made at the CERN ISR, our data are in good agreement with the ISR data.

We have measured the crosss section for the reaction e + e − → 4 π ± in the energy range 1 2–3.0 GeV.No statistically significant evidence for a new vector meson in the ϱ″ region is found.

The polarized target asymmetry for γ + p → π + + n was measured at c.m. angles around 130° for the energy range between 0.3 and 1.0 GeV. A magnetic spectrometer system was used to detect π + mesons from the polarized butanol target. The data show two prominent positive peaks at 0.4 and 0.8 GeV and a deep minimum at 0.6 GeV. These features are well reproduced by the phenomenological analysis made by us.
