The total cross section for the π−p→π−π+n reaction has been measured at incident pion kinetic energies of 200, 190, 184, and 180 MeV. In addition, the π+p→π+π+n reaction was measured at 200 and 184 MeV. A fit of the cross sections by heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory yields values of 8.5±0.6(mπ−3) and 2.5±0.1(mπ−3) for the reaction matrix elements A10 and A32, which correspond to values for the s-wave isospin-0 and isospin-2 π−π scattering lengths of a0=0.23±0.08(mπ−1) and a2=−0.031±0.008(mπ−1), respectively.

The 1H(e,e′K+)Λ reaction was studied as a function of the squared four-momentum transfer, Q2, and the virtual photon polarization, ɛ. For each of four Q2 settings, 0.52, 0.75, 1.00, and 2.00 (GeV/c)2, the longitudinal and transverse virtual photon cross sections were extracted in measurements at three virtual photon polarizations. The Q2 dependence of the σL/σT ratio differs significantly from current theoretical predictions. This, combined with the precision of the measurement, implies a need for revision of existing calculations.

Differential cross section of the p n --> p p(1)S(0)) pi- reaction extracted from p d --> p p p pi-.

The double differential cross section for pn→pp(1S0)π− at three beam energies has been extracted from the quasifree process pd→pppπ−. A comparison is carried out with single differential cross section measurements for 3He(π−,pn)n, where the pion is thought to be absorbed onto a pp(1S0) “diproton” state. A significant difference is observed in the shape of the angular distribution between the production and absorption data. This difference is ascribed to the effects of the 3He nuclear environment characterizing the absorption process; however, an adequate theoretical explanation is not available.

Observation of a (Sigma)He-4 bound state in the He-4(K-,pi-) reaction at 600-MeV/c.

We have observed a clear peak below the Σ+-production threshold in the 4He(K−,π−) reaction at 600MeV/c and θKπ=4∘. This is confirmation of the existence of the bound state of Σ4He, which was reported in the 4He(stoppedK−,π−) reaction. As in the case of stopped kaons, no such peak was found in the 4He(K−,π+) spectrum. Quantitatively reliable parameters for this level have been established. The binding energy and the width of the bound state are 4.4±0.3(stat)±1(syst) MeV and 7.0±0.7(stat)−0.0+1.2(syst) MeV, respectively.

The double differential cross section of low momentum kaons ( ≤0.3GeV/c) from p+C collisions at subthreshold bombarding energies has been for the first time measured by the use of the CLAMSUD magnetic spectrometer installed at the CELSIUS storage ring. Invariant cross sections extracted from the data show a source rapidity shifted below the nucleon-nucleon rapidity, in agreement with the existence of multistep processes in the K+ production cross section. The total cross section of the inclusive reaction 12C(p,K+) at 1.2 GeV was extracted and compared with recent data systematics as a function of the proton bombarding energy.

The preliminary results of an investigation of a system of two K S mesons in the mass interval 1600–1950 MeV are reported. The events were obtained on a 6-m magnetic spark spectrometer at ITEP in π − p interactions at 40 GeV, using a neutral trigger which suppressed both charged particles and γ rays. A peak of width ≃30 MeV with statistical significance not lower than six standard deviations is observed with momentum transfer selection |tu|0.23 GeV2 near the mass 1775 MeV of the K S K S system. The observed phenomena can be interpreted as the existence of one resonance with the indicated parameters, or two narrower resonances. In the latter case, their masses are 1768±1.5 and 1787±1.5 MeV. The widths of these states are comparable to the mass resolution of the spectrometer (∼5 MeV). Estimates of the product σ ⋅BR(K S K S ) give ∼1.5 and 2.5 nb, respectively, for the first and second states.
