The reactions π − p → p π − and π − p → p ϱ − ( ϱ − → π − π 0 ) at 10 GeV/ c with the proton in the forward direction in the c.m.s. are discussed on the basis of 953 elastic scattering events and 2240 events of the reaction π − p → p π − π 0 . The total backward cross sections are 0.52±0.10 and 1.52±0.28 μ b, respectively. In both cases the production mechanism is compatible with the dominance of the baryonic Δ δ Regge trajectory exchange. The ϱ − decay angular distributions are studied in the u -channel helicity frame and the spin density matrix elements are presented as functions of u .

Differential cross sections and density-matrix elements in ρ− decay have been measured at 6 GeV/c for p¯p→π+ρ− and its line-reversed partner π−p→pρ− in the range tmin>t>−1.5 (GeV/c)2. The reactions satisfy line-reversal symmetry and the ρ− decay is consistent with isotropy for −t≲0.5 (GeV/c)2. For −t≳0.5 (GeV/c)2, the differential cross sections show a weaker t dependence, and the decays become anisotropic.
