We have measured antiproton production cross sections as functions of centrality in collisions of 14.6 GeV/c per nucleon Si28 ions with targets of Al, Cu, and Pb. For all targets, the antiproton yields increase linearly with the number of projectile nucleons that have interacted, and show little target dependence. We discuss the implications of this result on the production and absorption of antiprotons within the nuclear medium.

The subthreshold production of neutral pions was studied in the reactions 24 Mg(α,π 0 )X at 43 MeV·. A and 24 Mg( 16 O,π 0 )X at 24 and 33 MeV·. A . The energies and emission angles of the two coincident photons from the π 0 -decay were measured with a lead glass shower detector. The cross sections of 3.5 and 6.6 nb from the 16 O-induced reactions are compatible with other experiments in this energy region. For the α-induced reaction a production cross section of 1.3 nb was found. Here, only 22 MeV above the absolute threshold, the pion emission from an excited Δ -nucleon hole state is strongly suppressed. The differential cross sections at very backward angles are by an order of magnitude bigger than the yields at 90° pointing to a strong absorption of the produced pions by the larger target nucleus.

We report on a study of the differential cross section d σ /d y for the processes of elastic ν μ - and ν μ - electron scattering. The data on which this analysis is based were recorded between 1987 and 1990 with the CHARM II detector in the wide band neutrino beam at the CERN-SPS. For the first time the shapes of these y -distributions have been determined in a model-independent way. A fit to the data yields for the squares of the neutral coupling constants the ratio g R 2 / g L 2 =0.60 ± 0.19 (stat.) ± 0.09 (syst.).

The reaction γ+d → π++π−+p + n has been measured in a kinematically complete way at incident photon energies from 570 to 850 MeV in steps of 40 MeV. From detailed comparison of measured data with results of event simulations, it is concluded that three different mechanisms, the quasi-free, double-delta and phase space productions, contribute to the reaction. Each of the cross sections corresponding to these mechanisms is determined separately.

Polycarbonate track detector Makrofol, sensitive to fragments withA≧16 was used to register products of interactions of 6.3 GeV deuterons with Th, Bi, Au, and Ag. Cross sections for the production of events with one, two and three fragments have been determined and their variation as a function of theZ2/A of the target analyzed. Possible mechanisms were proposed and discussed. Geometric characteristics of binary events were used in order to identify those binary events which resulted from the process of fission. The results were compared with corresponding proton data.
Cross sections for the production of events with one, two and three fragments have been determined.

The results of the multiplicity distributions of shower, grey, black, and heavily ionizing charged particles from induced16 reactions at 200A GeV are presented. The results are compared with the predictions of the Lund Monte Carlo code fritiof, the multichain model by Ranft, and the Monte Carlo code venus.
