We present the first results of an experiment at the CERN intersecting storage rings, which measures the total cross-section in proton-proton collisions. The equivalent laboratory momenta are 291, 496, 1068 and 1480 GeV/c. We have made a direct measurement of αT as the ratio between the total interaction rate and the machine luminosity. The present paper gives a detailed description of the experimental apparatus and of the analysis procedure. We find that αT increases by about 10% in the energy region studied.

The polarization of scattered antiproton in\(\bar pp\) elastic scattering has been measured at the kinetic energy of 220MeV by means of double scattering in a bubble chamber. The polarizations obtained are 0.28±0.11, 0.46±0.12, 0.51±0.19 and 0.38±0.31 at the scattering angles 28°, 42°, 56° and 73° in the c.m. system, respectively. These results do not seem to be in good agreement with a prediction given by Bryan and Phillips. We have also compared these data with a modified diffraction model.
POLARIZATION ASSUMED POSITIVE.
The reaction π-p→pωπ- has been studied at 9.1 GeV/c, its total cross-section is σ=(123±22) μb. The pB− and the quasi-three-body channels contribute with cross-section of σ=(24±7) μb and σ=(94±23) μb, respectively. The main features of the quasi-three-body pωπ- channel, displayed by some techniques of data presentation, are satisfactorily described by a double-Regge-pole model. In this model pomeron-meson and meson-meson exchanges are taken into account. An OPE modelà la Veneziano predicts a total cross-section too high and reproduces very poorly the observed features.
BREIT-WIGNER PLUS BACKGROUND FITS FOR B(1235)- AND OMEGA MESONS.
An optical spark-chamber counter experiment at Adone, the Italian colliding electron-positron ring, has succeeded in measuring the cross-section for the process e+e−→p\(\bar p\) near threshold (Ec.m.=2.1 GeV). The result isσ(e+e−→p\(\bar p\))=(0.91±0.22) nb.
ISOTROPIC ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION ASSUMED.
Photoproduction of π−-mesons on deuteron has been studied in the first resonance region with an annihilation photon beam with adjustable peak energy (from 250 MeV to 400 MeV). A coincidence detection of both outgoing π−-meson and forward proton has been performed with a set of 9 multiwire proportional chambers (1700 wires) inside the gap of a spectrometer. The momentum of the second proton is computed from three-body kinematics; their distribution is found in excellent agreement with the spectator model, even at the top of the resonance. The differential cross-sections of π− have been measured from 100° to 180° (center of mass); they are in reasonable agreement with conventional multipole calculations and do not indicate an appreciable isotensor term.

Production and decay properties of the B-meson are studied in the reactions π±p→B±p at 11 GeV/c. Values for mass, width, total and differential cross-sections and spin density matrix elements are given. The spin and parity, and the helicity states in the B→πω decay, are analysed.

A sample of 43000 two-prong events obtained at a momomentum of 11.7 GeV/c is used to determine the cross-sections of the fitted channels, and to study the reaction π+p→π+pπ0. We investigate in particular the quasi-two-body channels π0Δ++ and ρ+p.

The final results of an experimental investigation of the reaction γ+n→p+π− performed with a deuterium bubble chamber at the 1 GeV Frascati electrosynchrotron are presented. Total and differential cross-sections on neutrons are extracted by means of the spectator model, the reliability of which has been checked by numerous tests and is extensively discussed. The problems of a possible isotensor component in the electromagnetic current, the time-reversal invariance of the electromagnetic interactions and the photoproduction of the Roper resonance are considered in detail.
