Annihilations of 5.7 GeV/ c antiprotons in hydrogen into four charged pions have been studied. Production of ϱ o and f o mesons and a possible enhancement in both π ± π ± and π + π − mass distributions at 1.54 GeV is seen. Upper limits for quasi 2-body annihilations are given.

Results are presented from a study of the annihilation interaction p―p→K+K−π+π− at 8.3 GeV/c based on data from an experiment performed with the large-aperture solenoid spectrometer (LASS) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. A measurement of the reaction cross section is made, and contributions to the final state from the φ, f0A20, K*(890), K*(1430), and ρ0 resonances are studied.

Resilts are reported on the four-pion final state from antiproton annihilations in hydrogen in the vicinity of 940 MeV/ c . The cross section for π − π − π + π + is found to be 3.6 mb. Abundant resonance production is observed, with fits indicating that quasi-two-body production constitutes approximately half the four-pion events. The model employed, which includes resonance production and Bose symmetrization, yields excellent fits to mass distributions and angular correlations.

New data from a 600 000 picture exposure of the BNL 31 inch hydrogen bubble chamber to a separated antiproton beam have been analyzed to try to determine if the π + π − π + π − or π + π − π + π − π 0 final states contribute any broad or narrow structure in the T(2190) region. The resonance channel fractions determined by maximum likelihood fits are all consistent with smooth behavior through the T-region and therefore there is no significant evidence that any of these resonance channels contributes to the broad bump in the total cross section. The errors on some of the fractions, however, limit the sensitivity to ∼ 0.5 mb for enhancements in these channels.

The following reactions have been analyzed: (1) p¯p→π−π−π+π+; (2) p¯p→π−π+K−K+; (3) p¯p→K−K−K+K+. Cross sections as a function of beam momentum ranging from 1.6 to 2.2 GeVc are presented. The percentage of resonance production in reaction (1) is examined using the maximum-likelihood (ML) method. The channel is dominated by ρππ and ρf production. The percentage of ρf decreases with p¯ momentum, while ρππ appears to increase. ML fits are also made to reaction (2); the reaction is dominated by K*Kπ, ϕππ, and ρKK production. An enhancement is seen in the Q region of the ππK mass spectrum at 1278 MeV, with FWHM (full width at half maximum) of 25 MeV. Six events are consistent with reaction (3). Mass spectra indicate that five events have at least one ϕ meson produced; one of these is a ϕϕ event.

Experimental results for the cross-sections, the effectivemass distributions, the angular distributions and correlations are presented for the reaction\(\bar p\)p → 3π−3π+. All the multipion mass distributions and the ππ angular correlations are described in terms of a final-state interaction model including theδ00 andδ11 ππ phase shifts, as well as an A2 effect.

INCOHERENT BRIET-WIGNER FIT TO 3PI- 3PI+ CHANNEL.
An analysis of the K 0 K 0 system at threshold produced in the final states p p → K S 0 K S 0 ( n π) at 700–760 MeV/ c , is presented. A simultaneous fit to the ππ phase shifts and inelasticities and to the K S 0 K S 0 effective-mass distributions using parametrizations which take into account the analytical and unitarity properties of the I = 0 S-wave amplitudes is performed. The behaviour of the eigenphases and the unphysical Riemann sheet structure for different solutions is studied.

An analysis of a data sample of 1296 events of the reaction p p → K + K − π + π − at 2.32 GeV/ c is presented. The reaction cross section is 300 ± 20 μb . A number of tests of C conservation were made with careful attention to possible systematic errors, yielding no clear evidence of C violation. Various quasi two-body and quasi three-body final states contributing to this reaction were studied. The final state φπ + π − appears to be produced via a Zweig's rule violating mechanism. An analysis of the quasi three-body final state, K ∗0 K − π + (with K ∗0 → K + π − ) plus charge conjugate, whose cross section is 84 ± 12 μ b, is given. The properties of this final state are compared with expectations based on a simple baryon exchange model, and poor agreement is found. A quark model allows a successful qualitative interpretation of the properties of this three-body final state.
