The coherent production of π and ρ mesons in νμ (ν¯μ)-neon charged-current interactions has been studied using the Fermilab 15-foot bubble chamber filled with a heavy Ne-H2 mix and exposed to the Tevatron quadrupole triplet (anti)neutrino beam. The νμ (ν¯μ) beam had an average energy of 80 GeV (70 GeV). From a sample corresponding to approximately 28 000 charged-current interactions, net signals of (53±9) μ±π∓ coherent events and (19±7) μ±π∓π0 coherent events are extracted. For E>10 GeV, the coherent pion production cross section is determined to be (3.2±0.7)×10−38 cm2 per neon nucleus whereas the coherent ρ production cross section is (2.1±0.8)×10−38 cm2 per neon nucleus. These cross sections and the kinematical characteristics of the coherent events at |t|<0.1 GeV2 are found to be in general agreement with the predictions of a model based on the hadron dominance and, in the pion case, on the partially conserved axial-vector current hypothesis. Also discussed is the coherent production of systems consisting of three pions.

Total interaction cross sections have been measured for 8 Li on C and Pb targets, for 9 Li on C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb targets, as well as for 11 Li on C, Sn and Pb targets at about 80 MeV/nucleon. In addition, 2n-removal cross sections for 11 Li have been extracted. These measurements are used to determine the nuclear and the electromagnetic part of the cross sections for the different projectile-target combinations. The experimental results are compared to different model calculations. These comparisons allow one to draw conclusions on the matter density distribution of the neutron-rich lithium isotope 11 Li. By comparing our data on the electromagnetic dissociation of 11 Li with all the other data available in the literature, we are able to put constraints on the dipole-strength distribution in 11 Li.

The 2m hydrogen bubble chamber was exposed to a separated beam of α-particles from the ITEP synchrotron. The momentum of the 4 He-nuclei beam averaged over the bubble-chamber fiducial volume was equal to 2.7 GeV/ c (the kinetic energy of the initial protons in the nuclear rest frame was T p = 220 MeV). The total and topological cross sections were measured as well as the cross section of separate 4 He-p interaction channels and the differential cross sections d σ d t of the elastic 4 He-p scattering. The experimental results have been compared with the data of the previous experiments and with the theoretical predictions based on the Glauber-Sitenko multiple-scattering theory.

We report the results on the electromagnetic dissociation of 14.5A GeV28Si and 200A GeV16O projectiles in nuclear emulsion. The overall charge changing production cross sections are determined experimentally and are found to agree reasonably well with those computed theoretically. The relative rate as a function of decay energy for various reaction channels are parameterized in terms of an exponential function. Majority of the events in the most prominent decay modes can be attributed to the excitation of giant dipole resonances. Multiplicity distributions of α particles emerged from nuclear as well as electromagnetic interactions are also investigated.

The cross section is calculated from the relation sigma=f/ro*lambda, were ro=7.898*10**22 atoms per cm**3 and f is a weight factor which is unity for nuclear interactions produced by all the emulsion targets, for AG f=0.62.
Using data from the NA32 experiment at CERN we have studied the Λ + c decays containing a Σ + among the decay products. The interactions of 230 GeV π − with a Cu target were analysed using a precise vertex telescope (charge-coupled devices and silicon microstrip detectors) and the ACCMOR spectrometer. We have found eleven Λ + c →Σ + π + π − , one Λ + c →Σ + K + K − , two Λ + c →Σ + K + π − and one Λ + c →Σ + π + π − π + π − decays practically without any backgroun d. We have measured the branching ratios with respect to the Λ + c →pK − π + channel.

The cross section per nucleon is evaluated with assumption of the linear atomic number dependence. SIG(C=NEUTRINO) and SIG(C=ANTINEUTRINO) are corresponded to the NUMU and NUMUBAR data, respectevly. CLOOP-OVER.
We have performed a search for the 1P1 state of charmonium resonantly formed in p¯p annihilations, close to the center of gravity of the 3PJ states. We report results from the study of the J/ψ+π0 and J/ψ+2π final states. We have observed a statistically significant enhancement in the p¯+p→J/ψ+π0 cross section at √s ≃3526.2 MeV. This enhancement has the characteristics of a narrow resonance of mass, total width, and production cross section consistent with what is expected for the 1P1 state. In our search we have found no candidates for the reactions p¯+p→J/ψ+π0+π0 and p¯+p→J/ψ+π++π−.

Results from the HELIOS External Spectrometer on kaon production in 200 GeV/ A S + W and p + W collisions are presented. The K π ratios are compared with results from a lower beam energy and are found to be remarkably similar. Evidence for secondary production of K + by meson-baryon rescattering is reviewed. Our results at y = 1.0–1.5 are compared with neutral strange particle results at midrapidity.

The process e + e − → μ + μ − and e + e − have been studied in the energy range s =52−61.4 GeV , using the TOPAZ detector at TRISTAN. From an integrated luminosity of L = 74.0 pb −1 , lowest-order cross sections and forward-backward asymmetries are measured to be 〈σ μμ 〈 = 25.4±0.9±1.2 pb , 〈A μμ 〉 = (−32.2±3.1±1.1)%, 〈σ ττ 〉 = 27.1±1.1±1.2 pb , 〈A ττ 〉 = (−33.9±4.9±1.0)% , at an average energy of s 〉=57.87 GeV . From the measured assymetry we derive axial vector couplings of a c a μ =0.96±0.09±0.01,and a c a τ =1.01±0.14±0.01±. These results are consistent with standard model expectations. Lower limits in the range 2–5 TeV (95%CL)are placed on compositeness scale parameters for leptons.

The production of the octet and decuplet baryons Λ, Ξ − , Σ (1385) ± , Ξ(1530) 0 and Ω − and the corresponding antibaryons has been measured in a sample of 485 000 hadronic Z 0 decays. Results on differential and integrated cross sections are presented. The differential cross section of Λ baryons is found to be softer than the one predicted by the Jetset and Herwig Monte Carlo generators. The measured decuplet yields are found to disagree with the simple diquark picture where only one tuning parameter for spin 1 diquarks is used. Comparisons of the momentum spectra for Λ and Ξ − with the predictions of an analytical QCD formula are also presented.
