We have measured total cross sections for the reaction π+p→π+π−p at incident pion kinetic energies of 190, 200, 220, 240, and 260 MeV. We use this result to deduce a new value of the chiral symmetry breaking parameter, ξ=-0.25±0.10, in a global constrained fit of the five ππN near-threshold amplitudes. Consequently, we report new soft pion model values for the s-wave ππ scattering lengths.

Dip structures in pi+ p ---> rho+ p at 1.55-1.84 gev/c

Results of a high-statistics study of π++p→ρ++p at 1.55-1.84 GeVc are consistent with dominance of π and ω exchange close to threshold. A pronounced dip in ρ00sdσdt at −t≃0.4 GeV2 may be attributed to pion exchange with strong absorption.

Study of the two-charged-particle final states of 3.9-gev/c pi+- p interactions including a longitudinal-momentum analysis of the one-pion- production channels

Bastien, P.L. ; Carmel, Z. ; Dao, F.T. ; et al.

Inspire Record 68000 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23677

We have analyzed the two-prong final states in π+p interactions at 3.9 GeVc. Our result for elastic scattering is σ (elastic) = 6.50±0.1 mb (statistical error only). We find the elastic slope to be 6.61±0.14 (GeVc)−2. We find the elastic forward cross section to be 40.0±1.4 mb(GeVc)2. We have applied a longitudinal-momentum analysis to the one-pion-production channel. We find the cross section for the reaction π++p→π++π0+p to be 2.30±0.06 mb and that for π++p→π++π++n to be 1.45±0.05 mb. For resonance-production cross sections in these channels we find Δ(1236)=0.60±0.07 mb, ρ(760)=0.86±0.06 mb, and diffraction dissociation = 1.69±0.11 mb. We find that we can satisfactorily fit all distributions in the one-pion-production channel without assuming any phase-space production. In the missing-mass channel we observe dominant Δ++(1236) production plus evidence for A2+ production.

PRISM Plot Analysis of the Reaction pi+ p --> p pi+ pi+ pi- at 16-GeV/c

The AACHEN-BERLIN-BONN-CERN-CRACOW-HEIDELBERG collaboration Deutschmann, M. ; Schmitz, P. ; Schulte, R. ; et al.

Inspire Record 104924 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.32122

A study of the reaction π + p → p π + π o at 16 GeV/ c incident momentum has been made using the prism plot analysis to reject background events arising from elastic and multineutral contaminations and to separate different reaction channels ( ϱ + p, g + p, Δ + π + , Δ ++ π o , π + (p π o ) DD ). Cross sections, invariant mass distributions and production and decay angular distributions are presented. For the channel corresponding to proton diffraction dissociation strong violation of both s - and t -channel helicity conservation is found for low values of the (p π o ) mass. We demonstrate that the prism plot method provides a better separation of background events than conventional methods using kinematic cuts.
