Systematic measurements of π− elastic scattering on C12 above the Δ-resonance region are reported. The differential cross sections were measured at 610, 710, 790, and 895 MeV/c over an angular range from 5° to 50°. The obtained data were compared with the first-order optical potential model. In the forward region, agreement with the calculation increases with the incident momentum. In the backward region, however, the calculation underestimates the data. The total cross section was extracted, and its energy dependence shows that the effect of Fermi averaging is important.

We have measured differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of charged pions from H3 and He3 into the backward hemisphere. Near the peak of the delta resonance, at Tπ=180 MeV, an angular distribution covering 114° to 168° in the laboratory extends our earlier measurements. At Tπ=142, 180, 220, and 256 MeV, we have measured an excitation function at angles approaching 170°. The cross sections for the reactions He3(π+,π+)3He, H3(π−,π−)3H show a rise at back angles which is not seen for He3(π−,π−)3He and H3(π+,π+)3H. There is a dip in the cross sections near 130° for Tπ=180 MeV.

We report a study of single photon production in e + e − collisions at s =58 GeV with the TOPAZ detector at TRISTAN. From data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 213 pb −1 , 5 single photon candidates remained after event selection, which can be compared with the expected 3.1 ν ν γ and 2.8 background events. These results exclude the selectron mass below 47.2 GeV at the 90% confidence level, if e ̃ L and e ̃ R are mass-degenerate and the photino is massless. When combined with results from other experiments, this limit improves to 75.0 GeV.

Results of the measurement of the φ meson parameters with the general purpose detector CMD-2 at the upgraded e + e − collider VEPP-2M at Novosibirsk are presented. This is the first measurement of the four major φ decay modes in a single e + e − experiment. The results based on about 55,600 identified hadronic events are consistent with previous measurements, and have precision comparable to the current world average.

The depolarization parameter Donon of the p dash p → n dash n charge exchange reaction has been measured for the first time at the CERN Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at two antiproton momenta, 546 and 875 MeV/ c . The transverse polarization of the recoil neutron was analyzed using a large-acceptance neutron polarimeter made up of two parallel plastic scintillator planes. D 0 n 0 n is usually less than 0.35 which suggests that the spin-spin amplitudes dominate in the scattering matrix. Results are compared with the predictions of various N dash N potential models. The agreement is in general satisfactory.

We have conducted a search for bound states of a negative pion and a number of neutrons (pineuts) using the E814 spectrometer. A beam of Si28 at a momentum of 14.6A GeV/c was used to bombard targets of Al, Cu, Sn, and Pb. We describe our experimental technique, present measured upper limits for pineut production, and discuss the significance of our results.

We have investigated the fragmentation of 3.65 GeV/nucleon O16, Mg24, and S32 projectiles on C, Al, Cu, Ag, and Pb targets using solid state nuclear track detectors. Track counting was performed by an automatic measuring system. Total charge changing and the partial cross sections for the production of fragments with charges 9≤Z≤15 for S32 projectiles and of charge 6≤Z≤11 for Mg24 were determined. Comparison with theoretical models and other experimental data is made.

We have measured a complete isotope distribution of projectile-like nuclear-charge pickup products, formed by bombarding a Al17 target with 790A MeV Xe129 ions. The shape of the cross-section distribution indicates a dominant influence of evaporation processes during the formation of the final cesium fragments observed, thus masking to a large extent the primary processes involved in the charge exchange. We can show, however, that an intranuclear-cascade-plus-evaporation calculation can reproduce the observed yields, and that the effect of Δ-formation during the first stage of the reaction is visible even in the inclusive cross sections. The same model can explain the strong increase in total charge-pickup cross sections with increasing projectile mass noted previously by other authors. It is therefore not necessary to invoke coherent processes to explain this increase as has been suggested previously.

The total cross section for γp→ηp near threshold has been measured using the PHOENICS tagging system at the ELSA electron facility of the Physikalisches Institut der Universität Bonn. The photons are created by bremsstrahlung, and are tagged by measuring the momentum of each electron after the photon has been emitted. The recoil proton from γp→ηp is detected by the AMADEUS counter setup in coincidence with the tagging system. Data were taken with AMADEUS at 3.3° in the laboratory, where the large Jacobian increases our event rate so that we obtain the cross section from threshold (Eγ=707.2 MeV) to Eγ≃720 MeV with adequate statistics. The γp→ηp events are identified by kinematics, dE/dx, and timing information. We find that in our energy region the production cross section is consistent with S-wave production.

Pion-induced double charge exchange (π+,π−) on Se76,78,80,82, leading to the double isobaric analog states (DIAS) and the ground states of Kr76,78,80,82, has been studied at a laboratory angle of 50 and incident pion kinetic energy of 293.2 MeV. Cross sections for these transitions have been extracted, and those for the DIAS are compared to two simple models of pion double charge exchange.
