We report on a study of the charge-exchange reaction pp → nΔ ++ (1232) at the CERN intersecting storage rings (ISR) in the energy range √ s = 23 to 53 GeV. From our analysis of the energy dependence of the total cross-section, of the differential cross-section d σ /d t and of the decay angular distributions we find evidence that pion exchange is dominant up to √ s = 23 GeV and that ( ϱ +A 2 ) exchange dominates the reaction for √ s ⩾ 30 GeV, as described by simple Regge-pole models.

A detailed analysis is presented of the reactions pp→pp,pp→ppπ0 and pp→pπ+n. The production cross sections are found to be 11.47 ± 0.33 mb, 2.54 ± 0.16 mb, and 5.73 ± 0.35 mb, respectively. The t dependence of elastic scattering can be described by the form e7.9t over the range 0.05<−t<0.50 GeV2. The single-particle distributions for the single-pion production processes are presented. Further detailed analyses are presented which demonstrate that pion-exchange phenomenology, both elementary and Reggeized, can account for the gross features of the peripheral pp→pπ+n data for M(pπ+)<2.4 GeV. Isospin-12 isobars are produced by some other processes in the channel pp→pN*+, especially when the invariant mass of the pion with the unrelated proton is large. We discuss the properties of these isobars.

|Tz|=32Δ(1238) systems are studied from the standpoint of direct production utilizing experimental data on the reactions pp→pπ+n, pp→pπ+π−p, pp→pπ+π−π0p, and pp→pπ+π−π+n. Resonance-production total and differential cross sections are presented, in addition to the decay density-matrix elements. It is demonstrated that the experimentally defined Δ(1238) systems are not characterized solely by spin-parity 32+, and that corresponding elements of the density matrices of both pπ+ and π−n cases generally behave in a similar manner with increasing c.m. angle. Additional detailed studies of the t-channel moments are presented for peripherally produced πN systems as a function of both c.m. angle and πN invariant mass. Dynamical differences are observed between the pπ+ and nπ− moments for the very peripheral data. One-pion-exchange-model predictions are compared with the peripheral pπ+ moments and with several invariant-mass distributions from the pp→pπ+π−p data. Complications arising from the presence of two pπ+ combinations in the four- and five-body final-state data are discussed.
