The Σ − p and Σ − d total cross sections have been measured to a statistical accuracy of ±1% and ±0.5%, respectively, at five momenta from 74.5 to 136.9 GeV/ c , using the hyperon beam at the CERN SPS. The Ξ − p and Ξ − d total cross sections have also been measured to the same statistical accuracy at 101.5 and 133.8 GeV/ c . The systematic uncertainty at each momentum is estimated to be of the order of ±0.5%. The hyperon-nucleon cross sections are shown to be rising with energy, and the data are compared with various phenomenological models.
Axis error includes +- 0.10/0.10 contribution (FOR DEUT TARGET. ADDED TO STAT. ERROR IN QUADRATURESAME AS ABOVE). Axis error includes +- 0.15/0.15 contribution (FOR PROTON TARGET. ADDED TO STAT. ERROR IN QUADRATURE.UNCERTAINTY OF EXTRAPOLATION OVER T).

Proton and antiproton total cross sections on protons and deuterons have been measured at 50, 100, 150, and 200 GeV/c. The proton cross sections rise with increasing momentum. Antiproton cross sections fall with increasing momentum, but the rate of fall decreases between 50 and 150 GeV/c, and from 150 to 200 GeV/c there is little change in cross section.
