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 for $K^-$ radiative capture in flight on the proton, leading to the $\gamma\Lambda$ and $\gamma\Sigma^0$ final states, have been measured at eight $K^-$ momenta between 514 and 750 MeV/$c$. The data were obtained with the Crystal Ball multiphoton spectrometer installed at the separated $K/\pi$ beam line C6 of the BNL Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. The results substantially improve the existing experimental data available for studying radiative decays of excited hyperon states. An exploratory theoretical analysis is performed within the Regge-plus-resonance approach. According to this analysis, the $\gamma\Sigma^0$ final state is dominated by hyperonresonance exchange and hints at an important role for a resonance in the mass region of 1700 MeV. In the $\gamma\Lambda$ final state, on the other hand, the resonant contributions account for only half the strength, and the data suggest the importance of a resonance in the mass region of 1550 MeV.

Measurements of the total and differential cross sections of the reaction p p → K s K s are presented for values of s in the region near 2230 MeV. The 18 energies of the scan were chosen to permit a sensitive search for resonant structure related to the ¢E(2230) state in a channel with a minimal non-resonant background. No such structure is observed. Stringent limits for the branching ratio are set based on various assumptions for the width and spin of the ¢E.

The PS185 experiment at the CERN Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) has studied the reaction p ̄ p → \ ̄ gLΛ at several momenta. In this paper results from two runs with high statistics at 1.546 GeV/ c and 1.695 GeV/ c are described. Based on 4063 and 11362 analysed events, respectively, differential and integrated cross sections, polarizations and spin correlations are presented. The singlet fraction, extracted from the spin correlations, is consistent with zero at both momenta, showing that the \ ̄ gLΛ pairs are produced in a pure triplet state. A comparison of the decay asymmetry parameters of Λ and \ ̄ gL reduces the upper limits for the violation of the CP invariance for this system.

The differential cross section and analyzing power of the reaction pp → d π + were measured for nine incident proton energies between 725 and 1000 MeV. A magnetic spectrometer was used to detect either deuterons or pions. Cross-section and analyzing-power angular distributions were respectively fitted with Legendre polynomial and associated Legendre function expansions, the coefficients of which were found to vary smoothly with energy in the vicinity of the alleged 3 F 3 dibaryon resonance.

The observation of 70 000 K 0 p π + events produced with K + incident momenta of 1.21, 1.29, 1.38 and 1.69 GeV/ c allows a detailed description of the production and decay of the Δ(1236) and K ∗ (892) resonances which dominate the K 0 p π + final state. No striking variations with energy are observed. The associated production of Δ and K ∗ near threshold shows striking similarities with the same production at higher energy.

This paper presents the results of a study of the dominant neutral final states from π−p interactions. The data were obtained in an experiment performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, using a set of steel-plate optical spark chambers surrounding a liquid-hydrogen target. We present differential and total cross sections for the reactions (1) π−p→n+π0 and (2) π−p→n+η0(η0→2γ) and total cross sections for the reactions (3) π−p→n+kπ0 (k=2, 3, 4, and 5) and (4) π−p→all neutrals for eighteen values of beam momentum in the interval 1.3 to 4.0 GeV/c. The angular distributions for (1) and (2) have been analyzed in terms of expansions in Legendre polynomials, the coefficients for which are also given.

An experiment is described to measure the differential cross section for the charge-exchange reaction K 0 p → K + n from 0.6 to 1.5 GeV/ c incident kaon momentum in the angular range −0.65 < cos θ ∗ < 0.85 The calibration of the kaon beam by observation of K S 0 regeneration is also described. The differential cross sections are fitted with Legendre polynomials and compared with those from the time-reversed reaction using deuterium targets. Qualitative conclusions are drawn on the behaviour of particular charge-exchange amplitudes.

We present the results of a bubble chamber study of the pure-isospinI = 0 reaction K−p → ωΛ at 7 incident momenta between 1.934 and 2.516 GeV/c. An energy-dependent partial-wave analysis in the c.m. energy range (2070 ÷ 2436) MeV including these new data confirms the coupling of theG7 Λ(2100) to this channel and yields evidence for the existence of a new resonant stateD3or P3 Λ(2325). A semi-energy-independent partial-wave analysis is also carried out, by means of all available data from the threshold of the K−p → ωΛ reaction up to 2436 MeV. This supplies clear and unambiguous evidence for the contribution of the knownP3 Λ(1860) and of the above-proposedD3 Λ(2325) to the ωΛ channel.

New data on the K−p elastic and charge exchange reactions are presented in the K− momentum range between 1.934 GeV/c and 2.516 GeV/c. A conventional energy-dependent partial-wave analysis covering the widerPK- range from 1.6 GeV/c to 2.516 GeV/c is presented together with a p.w.a. in which the duality ands-helicity conservation ideas are explicitly imposed in the fits. Finally the new Y*’s observed in this experiment are classified inSU3 multiplets.
