Total and differential cross sections for the exclusive reaction pp->pp rho^0 observed via the pi+pi- decay channel have been measured at beam momentum=3.67 GeV/c. The observed total meson production cross section is determined to be 23.4 +- 0.8 +-8 microb and is significantly lower than typical cross sections used in model calculations for heavy ion collisions. The differential cross sections measured indicate a strong anisotropy cos^2(theta^{CM}) in the rho^0 meson production.

Approximately 21 000 four-prong pp interactions at 13.1 GeV/ c have been studied using the CERN 2m hydrogen bubble chamber. The following reactions have been analyzed pp→ppπ + π − (1) pp→ppπ + π − π 0 (2) pp→ppπ + π + π − (3) The Δ-production is the dominant feature. We also observed the pππ decay of the N ∗ (1470) and N ∗ (1690). The ϱis weakly produced in the three reactions. The η and the α are observed in the reaction (2) and the presence of a ω isobar is discussed. Then the kinematical characteristics of the final particles are described.
