Measurements have been made of the asymmetry in the scattering of π− mesons by a polarized proton target. Scattered π mesons and recoil protons were detected in arrays of scintillation counters; data were obtained at 16 scattering angles at each of 8 beam momenta between 875 and 1578 MeV/c. Analysis of these data together with earlier differential-cross-section measurements shows that there must exist at least three resonances in this energy region: (i) mass 1920 MeV/c2, Γ=170 MeV/c2, I=32, F72; (ii) mass 1682 MeV/c2, Γ=100 MeV/c2, I=12, F52; and (iii) mass 1674 MeV/c2, Γ=100 MeV/c2, I=12, D52.

The asymmetry in the scattering of π− mesons by polarized protons has been measured at 50 different momenta from 0.643 to 2.14 GeV/c. Results were obtained at values of cosθ ranging from approximately +0.9 to -0.95 in the c.m. system at each incident pion momentum. The pion beam was incident on a 7.6-cm-long crystal assembly of lanthanum magnesium nitrate, in which the hydrogen in the water of crystallization was polarized by the "solid effect." The total momentum spread of the beam was 10% (full width at half-height) and data were collected simultaneously in 4 momentum channels, each with 2½% full width at half-height. A gas Čherenkov counter was used to reject incoming electrons. Scattered particles were detected in scintillation counter arrays placed within the 10-cm gap of the polarized target magnet. Encoded information from each array was stored in the memory of a PDP-5 computer connected on-line to a fast electronic logic network. The computer was programmed to classify the events according to momentum and scattering angle and subdivide them into coplanar and noncoplanar categories. The latter provided a measure of the background. The results have been expressed in the form of an expansion in terms of first associated Legendre polynomial series and compared with the predictions of recent phase-shift solutions. It is concluded that although these analyses give satisfactory predictions of the general features of the results, no one solution gives complete agreement with the data above about 1.0 GeV/c.

We have measured the transverse asymmetry from inclusive scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from polarized 3He nuclei at quasi-elastic kinematics in Hall A at Jefferson Lab with high statistical and systematic precision. The neutron magnetic form factor was extracted based on Faddeev calculations with an experimental uncertainty of less than 2 %.

We have studied the reaction e−+p→e−+π++n by detecting the final electron and pion in coincidence. Data are presented in the region of virtual photon mass squared from -0.18 to -1.2 GeV2, and virtual photoproduction center-of-mass energy and angle from 1.85 to 2.50 GeV and 0 to 20°, respectively.

Measurements have been made of ΔσT for polarized neutrons incident on a polarized-proton target from 3.65 to 11.60 MeV. In the energy range near 10 MeV, ΔσT is very sensitive to the nucleon-nucleon tensor interaction. Comparison of the data to potential-model predictions indicate that the tensor interaction is weak, resulting in values of the 3S1−3D1 mixing parameter ε1 which are smaller than predicted by any nucleon-nucleon potential model. A smaller tensor force will bring the predictions of local potential models for the triton binding energy into closer agreement with the experimental value.
The measured cross section is the total cross section with the spins antiparallel minus the total cross section with the spins parallel.
New bubble chamber data on the reactions K − n → π 0 Σ 0 in the c.m. energy range 1750–2200 MeV are presented and are compared with the predictions of the most recent partial-wave analysis of the reaction K N → πΣ . The comparison stresses the need for data involving a single value of isotopic spin in the study of this reaction. An analysis of the new data yields two satisfactory solutions involving only well established resonances.

The differential and channel cross sections have been measured for the reactions K L 0 p → K S 0 p and K L 0 p → Λ 0 π + in nine energy intervals in the c.m. range 1605 to 1910 MeV. The regeneration reaction is a combination of the KN amplitudes (with I = 0 and 1) and the K N amplitude ( I = 1) and is very sensitive to the various KN phase-shift solutions, some of which show an exotic I = 0, P 1 resonance. Our results have been expressed in terms of frequency distributions and cross sections, normalised by the Λ 0 π + reaction. These results have been compared with the predictions of various partial-wave analyses. Qualitatively we can eliminate the P 1 non-resonant solution, though no solution correctly predicts our results.

The angular distribution and polarization for the reaction K − n→ π − Λ have been measured in the c.m.s. energy range 1750 MeV to 2000 MeV by means of a bubble chamber experiment, producing on average 500 events of this type per 10 MeV energy interval. The data are compared with the predictions of a recent partial-wave analysis of this reaction.
