A systematic analysis is presented on the reaction K + p → K ∗0 (890) Δ ++ for nine incident momenta between 4.6–16.0 GeV/ c . Cross sections, differential cross sections and vector meson single density matrix elements are given. As a function of energy, little if any change is observed in either the shapes of the differential cross sections or in the values of the density matrix elements. The data are interpreted in terms of current ideas on t -channel exchange mechanisms.

In this Report, QCD results obtained from a study of hadronic event structure in high energy e^+e^- interactions with the L3 detector are presented. The operation of the LEP collider at many different collision energies from 91 GeV to 209 GeV offers a unique opportunity to test QCD by measuring the energy dependence of different observables. The main results concern the measurement of the strong coupling constant, \alpha_s, from hadronic event shapes and the study of effects of soft gluon coherence through charged particle multiplicity and momentum distributions.

This report concerns itself with the study of four- or five-body final states produced by the interaction of 4.48-GeV/c K− mesons on neutrons. The data result from a 372 000-picture exposure in the Argonne National Laboratory 30-in. deuterium-filled bubble chamber. The reactions studied include (1) K−n→Λπ+π−π−, (2) K−n→Σ0π+π−π−, (3) K−n→Λπ+π−π−π0, (4) K−n→Λπ+π−π−MM, (5) K−n→Λπ−K+K−, and (6) K−n→Λπ−KL0KS0, where all the Λ particles decayed visibly. Evidence is presented for the existence of the Σ(1640) whose mass and width are 1642 ± 12 MeV/c2 and 55 ± 24 MeV/c2, respectively. The branching ratios are found to be consistent with an octet assignment. The A2 data are presented and are compatible with JPC=2++. In addition, the productions of ρ0, ω, and φ0 are discussed in conjunction with simultaneous Σ−(1385) production and the results are compared with quark-model predictions.
