High statistics data for the reaction K − p→K − π + n at 11 GeV / c have been obtained in the LASS spectrometer at SLAC. A spherical harmonic moments analysis provides clear evidence for the production of the complete leading orbitally excited K ∗ series up through J P = 5 − . New measurements are made of the masses and widths of the 1 − K ∗ (892), 2 + K ∗ (1430 ), 3 − K ∗ (1780), and 4 + K ∗ (2060), and evidence is presented for the production of a new K ∗ state at 2382 MeV / c 2 with spin-parity 5 − .

We present data for the single-pion production final states K 0 π − p, K − π 0 p and K − π + n from K − p interactions at 11 c.m. energies between 1775 and 1957 MeV. Using the K 0 π − p events the branching ratio (K s 0 → π + π − /K s 0 → all) has been determined to be 0.657 ± 0.011. New values have also been determined for the masses and widths of the K ∗0 (890) and the K ∗− (8990). These give a value of 1.5 ± 1.5 MeV for the electromagnetic mass splitting of the K ∗ . Differential cross sections and the spin-density matrix elements have been extracted for the reactions K − p → K ∗− p and K − p → K ∗0 n . An energy dependent partial-wave analysis of the K ∗ N channel from threshold up to 2170 MeV c.m. energy has been carried out yielding values for 17 resonant amplitudes for the expected Y ∗ 's and a new resonance, the S01(2030).

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.

We present experimental results and a partial-wave analysis of the low-mass ( K π) 0 systems produced in the reactions K − p → K π N at 14.3 GeV/ c . The main results concern the production mechanisms of the K ∗ (890) and K ∗ (1420) . We also extract the s-wave component of the K π system as a function of mass.
THE ERRORS QUOTED (EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST REACTION) ARE MAINLY AN ESTIMATE OF THE SYSTEMATIC UNCERTAINTIES.

By measuring 121 000 2-prong interactions on the Oxford PEPR, we obtained 9 543 events of the type K − p → K − π + n. The cuts to improve the quality of the data and to reduce ambiguities with other final states are described in detail. Strong signals corresponding to the final states K ∗o (890)n and K ∗o (1420)n are observed. The masses and widths of these resonances are determined.

We present the first evidence for K ∗ (1780) production in a non-exchange channel. This comes from a study of the reaction K − p → K° π − p at 14.3 GeV/ c . We also present evidence for K ∗ ° (1780) production in the charge exchange channel K − p → K − π + n. No significant K ππ , K ω and K η decay modes are found. The decay angular distribution, the spin-parity assignments and the production mechanism are discussed. With plausible assumptions on the production mechanism, the J P = 3 − spin-parity is favoured.
