Electron-proton elastic-scattering cross sections have been measured at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center for four-momentum transfers squared q 2 from 1.0 to 25.0 (GeVc)2. The electric (GEp) and magnetic (GMp) form factors of the proton were not separated, since angular distributions were not measured at each q 2. However, values for GMp were derived assuming various relations between GEp and GMp. Several theoretical models for the behavior of the proton magnetic form factor at high values of q 2 are compared with the data.

An experiment was done in the external proton beam of the Berkeley 184-in. cyclotron to measure the production cross sections for pions from various target nuclei, from hydrogen to lead. The cross-section data are presented and the reaction mechanisms discussed. The hydrogen production appears to fit the one-pion-exchange model.

We present the results of an analysis of data for the reaction π−p→KS0K−p at 20.3-GeV/c incident π momentum. We find that the K0K− effective-mass spectrum shows a single peak in the A2 region which is well fitted by a Breit-Wigner shape. The data in the A2-peak region are inconsistent with the split-A2 shape reported earlier. The distribution in t of the A2 events shows a forward dip followed by an exponential falloff. The A2 decay angular distribution is well fitted by a single resonance with quantum numbers JP=2+. The results of an analysis of the density-matrix elements for this reaction are given.

From the energy dependence of the p¯p and p¯n inelastic cross sections we deduce an upper limit to the resonant contribution in p¯p backward scattering for c.m. energies between 1915 and 1950 MeV. This limit is smaller than the expected contribution from diffraction scattering. The energy dependence of the 180° p¯p elastic cross section in this energy range cannot therefore be directly related to the formation of s-channel resonances.

We present results of an analysis of two-prong events for elastic scattering and single-pion production in K−p interactions at 5.5 GeVc. The resonance parameters for the charged and neutral K*(890) and K*(1420) are determined and the observed production and decay properties of the charged and neutral K*(890) are compared with the theoretical predictions of an absorptive one-particle-exchange model and a Regge model. The K*(1420) differential cross section and density-matrix elements are presented and the question of whether more than one resonance exists in this mass range is considered. A search for resonance effects at Kπ mass beyond 1500 MeV is made. In particular, the recently reported state at 1800 MeV is discussed. A B5-model analysis of the reaction K−p→K¯0π−p is also presented.

In a scintillation-counter experiment, we have observed two narrow, neutral mesons in addition to the well-established η′ (958) in the reaction π−p→M0n at 2.4 GeVc. We observe a mass of 940.5 ± 1.7 MeV, Γ<10.4 MeV for the M0(940), and a mass of 962.9 ± 1.7 MeV, Γ<5.9 MeV for the δ0.

The photoproduction yields of π0 mesons from D2, Be, C, Al, Cu, Ag, and Pb targets have been measured at peak bremsstrahlung energies of 4.25, 5.6, 7.8, and 9.6 GeV. The A dependence of π0 photoproduction is found to be almost independent of energy in this range in contrast to vector-meson dominance predictions.

We report measured asymmetries as a function of polar scattering angle for the reactions p¯p→π−π+ and p¯p→p¯p, using a polarized proton target. The annihilation data, obtained at a p¯ momentum of 1.64 GeV/c, are the first asymmetry data to be collected for this channel. A fit of these data and published differential cross section data is made by a partial-wave expansion, and the results are compared with a previous analysis. The elastic scattering data, obtained at 1.64 and 2.55 GeV/c, are fitted with an eight-parameter strong-absorption model.

Results of a high-statistics study of π++p→ρ++p at 1.55-1.84 GeVc are consistent with dominance of π and ω exchange close to threshold. A pronounced dip in ρ00sdσdt at −t≃0.4 GeV2 may be attributed to pion exchange with strong absorption.

We give new experimental results on ρω interference and two-body cross sections in p¯p annihilation at 2.3GeVc. These are used, together with ρω interference results from lower energies, to argue that the annihilation process is not mediated by discrete s-channel mesonic resonances in the mass range 2.1-2.6 GeV.
