Inclusive measurements of pion production in proton--proton collisions in the forward direction were undertaken at 400 and 600 MeV at COSY using the Big Karl spectrograph. The high resolution in the $\pi^+$ momentum ensured that there was an unambiguous separation of the $pp\to {\pi}^+d/\pi^+pn$ channels. Using these and earlier data, the ratio of the production cross sections could be followed through the $\Delta$ region and compared with the predictions of final state interaction theory. Deviations are strongly influenced by long-range terms in the production operator and the tensor force in the final $pn$ system. These have been investigated in a realistic $pp\to\pi^+d/\pi^+pn$ calculation that includes $S \rightleftharpoons D$ channel coupling between the final nucleons. A semi-quantitative understanding of the observed effects is achieved.

Forward angular distributions of the analysing power for the pp→d π + reaction have been measured at six energies T p =1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.3 GeV. A strong energy dependence is observed for A y 0 ( t =0) and A y 0 ( θ CM π =90°). The data are compared with the backward angular distributions previously published and suggest the existence of a resonant state in the pp system at the approximate energy of 2.7 GeV.

The angular distributions of the analyzing power for the pp → dπ + reaction have been measured at seven energies T p = 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.3 GeV. The data show a strong energy dependence with a structure centered at √ s π d = 2.66 GeV. Possible interpretations are presented in the frame of the OPE model and involving the question of the excitation of a dibaryon resonance.

Energy Dependence of the $P P \to \pi^+ D$ Differential Cross-section Between 500-{MeV} and 600-{MeV}

The unpolarized differential cross section for the reaction pp→π + d has been measured at SIN at seven energies between 514 and 583 MeV. Data are presented in terms of a Legendre polynomial expansion. An observed strong energy dependence of the 4th order coefficient can be understood as a threshold phenomenon in a phenomenological NΔ resonant description. No evidence was found for a 1 D 2 dibaryon resonance near 600 MeV.
