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.

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.

A bubble-chamber experiment based on 304 000 events of p¯p interactions at 2.32 GeV/c is described. The film was automatically scanned and measured by the POLLY II system. Details of the data-analysis methods are given. We report results on cross sections for constrained final states, tests of C invariance, and inclusive pion and ρ0 multiplicity parameters for annihilation final states.
