We have found 431 events of the reaction K+d→K0pps at 3.8−GeVc K+ beam momentum in a 295 000-frame exposure of the Argonne National Laboratory 30-in. deuterium-filled bubble chamber. The event sample consists of one- and two-prong events with a visible K0 decaying to π+π− The total and differential cross sections are found after correction for unseen K0's and for efficiencies in the scanning-measuring-fitting chain. Comparisons of the data are made to an SU(3) sum rule, a Regge model, and data for K−p→K¯0n.

GLAUBER SCREENING AND PAULI EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE CORRECTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO YIELD THE K+ N CHARGE EXCHANGE CROSS SECTION. THE GLAUBER CORRECTION IMPLIES AN INCREASE IN THE CROSS SECTIONS BY THE FACTOR 1.016. THE PAULI CORRECTION IS SLIGHT EXCEPT AT LOW -T (<0.2 GEV**2) WHERE IT IS LARGE AND UNCERTAIN.
We present differential and total cross sections for two reactions: π−p→K0Λ and π−p→K0Σ0. The incident pion momenta were 8, 10.7, and 15.7 GeVc. The results are based on an analysis of approximately 22 600 events of the two reactions where the π+ and π− from the decay of the KS0 were detected in the forward leg of the Double Vee Magnetic Spectrometer. The separation of Λ recoils from Σ0 recoils was accomplished by the missing-mass technique.

We have studied η′ production using a π+ beam incident on deuterium in the 72-in. bubble chamber, with beam momenta from 1.1 to 2.4 GeVc. Cross sections for reactions leading to five- and six-pronged final states are presented. We observe η′ production in the reaction π+d→ppη′, with the decay mode η′→π+π−η. The cross section for π+n→pη′ (studied in the impulse approximation) is observed to rise to a maximum of about 100 μb at 2.2-GeV c.m. energy. The production angular distribution develops peripheral peaking with increasing energy.

Results from the study of reactions (1) K−d→K−π−π+d and (2) K−d→K−π−π+nps at 7.3 GeV/c are presented. The interactions are dominated by the production of K*(890), ρ(765), Q(1200−1450), and D*(2200) in (1) and Δ−(1236) in (2). Observation of ρ(765) and its possible source as a misidentified K*(890) is discussed. Evidence is observed of splitting of the Q into two resonances with masses and widths (in MeV) M1=1228±21, Γ1=111±33, M2=1414±15, and Γ2=89±24, L(1775) is observed in (1). An off-shell one-pion-exchange-model calculation is compared to (2). Cross sections and branching ratios of the Q resonances are estimated on the basis of the model.
Q (OR K(A)) CROSS SECTIONS MODEL-DEPENDENT WITH BACKGROUND UNSUBTRACTED.
The results of an experiment performed at Adone, the 2×1.5-GeV e+e− Frascati storage ring, are presented. During ∼ 1500 hours of running time a total of 5164 electron-positron elastic scattering events (integrated luminosity L=3.5×1035 cm−2) and 605 noncoplanar events from the reaction e+e−→a±+b±+anything (effective integrated luminosity L=2.5×1035 cm−2) have been collected at c.m. energies ranging from 1.4 to 2.4 GeV. Over the energy range explored (1.4-2.4 GeV), corresponding to an average q2 ranging from 0.8 to 2.4 (GeV/c)2, the yield of wide-angle (60°<θ<120°) electron-positron elastic scattering events is found to be in good agreement with the predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED) (R=σexpσQED=1.05±0.04). The noncoplanar events appear to be of a hadronic nature and are produced with a much higher cross section than predicted on the basis of ρ, ω, φ dominance at these energies. The total cross section for the reaction e+e−→a±b±+anything shows a rapid increase to ∼ 90 nb between 1.0 and 1.5 GeV and falls off slowly to ∼ 50 nb at 2.4 GeV. Cross sections for some of the channels contributing to this multihadron process (e+e−→π+π−π+π−, e+e−→π+π−π+π−+neutrals, e+e−→3π+3π−) have been determined and are reported.

VALUES OF R CALCULATED FROM TOTAL CROSS SECTION.
Differential cross sections have been measured for the reaction π−p→p¯d. At 4 GeV/c the total cross section is 0.58 ± 0.08 μb with an angular distribution consistent with isotropy. At 5 GeV/c a pronounced forward dip occurs. In contradiction to simple baryon-exchange models, the cross section is found to be an order of magnitude smaller than that for the line-reversed reaction pp→π+d. Upper limits for π−d→p¯t were also found.

An experiment was done using the new accelerated polarized proton beam at the Argonne National Laboratory zero-gradient synchrotron and a polarized proton target. The total cross section for proton-proton scattering at 3.5 GeV/c was measured in the spin states ↑↑ and ↑↓ perpendicular to the beam direction. The two cross sections were found to be equal within the experimental error of ±5%.
TOTAL CROSS SECTION DIFFERENCE FOR PURE TRANSVERSE SPIN STATES.
Differential cross sections for π±p, K±p, pp, and p¯p elastic scattering were measured at 3, 3.65, 5, and 6 GeVc for momentum transfers from 0.03 to 1.5 GeV2 using the Argonne effective mass spectrometer. Particular attention was paid to the relative particle-antiparticle normalization. The crossover points are consistent with no energy dependence, average values being 0.14 ± 0.03, 1.190 ± 0.005, and 0.160 ± 0.007 GeV2 for π's, K's, and protons, respectively.

We have measured the polarization of the recoil proton in the reactions γp→π0p and γp→γp for incident photon energies between 3 and 7 GeV, and t values from -0.2 to -0.65 GeV2. The polarization in neutral-pion production varies from 0 to -1 over this range. Contrary to expectation, it does not agree completely with the polarized-target asymmetry.

The differential cross section for π+p elastic scattering has been measured at 13.8 GeVc for 0.7<|t|<3.8(GeVc)2. The cross section is found to be equal to that previously obtained for π−p elastic scattering, except in the region |t|=2.8 (GeVc)2, where the π+p data do not show the prominent dip observed in π−p scattering. Data have also been obtained for 13.8−GeVc K+p elastic scattering for 0.8<|t|<2.2 (GeVc)2.
