We report a measurement of the differential cross section, d{\sigma}/d(cos {\theta}t), for top-quark-pair production as a function of the top-quark production angle in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV. This measurement is performed using data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.4/fb. We employ the Legendre polynomials to characterize the shape of the differential cross section at the parton level. The observed Legendre coefficients are in good agreement with the prediction of the next-to-leading-order standard-model calculation, with the exception of an excess linear-term coefficient, a1 = 0.40 +- 0.12, compared to the standard-model prediction of a1 = 0.15^{+0.07}_{-0.03}.

Differential cross sections have been measured for π+p and π−p elastic scattering at 378, 408, 427, 471, 509, 547, 586, 625, 657, and 687 MeV/c in the angular range -0.8<cosθc.m.<0.8. The scattered pion and recoil proton were detected in coincidence using scintillation-counter hodoscopes. A liquid-hydrogen target was used except for measurements at forward angles, in which a CH2 target was used. Statistical uncertainties in the data are typically less than 1%. Systematic uncertainties in acceptance and detection efficiency are estimated to be 1%. Absolute normalization uncertainties are 2–3 % for most of the data. The measurements are compared with previous data and with the results of recent partial-wave analyses. The data are fit with Legendre expansions from which total elastic cross sections are obtained.

Partial Wave Analysis of K- p --> pi0 Lambda (1520) Between 1710-MeV and 2170-MeV Center-of-Mass Energy Including New Data Between 1775-MeV and 1960-MeV

We present extracted data for the pure I = 1 π 0 Λ (1520) channel from the reaction K − p → K − p π 0 at 11 incident momenta between 0.96 and 1.355 GeV/ c (1775 to 1960 MeV c.m. energy). A partial-wave analysis of this channel has been carried out over a broad c.m. energy range from 1710 to 2170 MeV using data at 27 momenta from this and earlier experiments. The 5 2 − Σ(1775) and built7 2 + Σ(2030) resonances are found to decay strongly to this channel. Amplitudes are also obtained for less dominant and less well-established resonances.
