A new method, using spark chambers, for the study of the reactions π ± + p → ϱ ± + p is described. The charged pion and both γ rays from the π ± decay are detected. Differential and integrated cross sections σ π + =50 ± 9 μ b, σ π − =47 ± 9 μ b) for 0.0 ⩽| t |⩽1. (GeV/ c ) 2 and a laboratory momentum ( p Lab ) of 15 GeV/c are presented. The momentum dependence of σ γ ± is well fitted from 2.7 to 16 GeV/c by σ = K p Lab − with n γ + = 1.80 ± 0.80 and n γ − = 1.87 ± 0.15.
