We have observed the production of high-mass I=32 baryon resonances in π+p interactions at 13 GeV/c. The most prominent of these is found to be the F37 Δ(1950). It is produced by one-pion exchange and the data are well described by on-shell π+p phase shifts. Decays into pπ+ and pπ+π0 are observed and the Δ(1950) is found to have a mass 1.880 ± 0.010 GeV and width of 0.180 ± 0.030 GeV with a production cross section of 43 ± 4 μb.
RESONANCE BACKGROUNDS SUBTRACTED.
Cross sections, differential cross sections, density matrix elements and statistical tensors are given for the reactions π + p → ( ϱ 0 , ω ) Δ ++ at 13.2 GeV/ c . A discussion of the results in terms of particle exchanges, quark model or dipole coupling constraints, and the equal phase hypothesis is presented in some detail for the high statistics ϱ 0 Δ ++ channel.
