Cross sections and decay distribution moments are presented for the reaction p p → Δ ++ Δ ++ at 3.6 GeV/ c , and compared with previously published data at 9.1 and 12 GeV/ c . With the aid of the quark model, we have isolated the natural and unnatural parity exchange contributions and shown them to accord with expectations based on simple Regge-pole exchanges.

Cross sections for various channels in 3 prong + V 0 final states of K − n interactions are obtained at 8.25 GeV/ c . An energy dependence study of the quasi two-body reactions Σ − (1385) + vector meson and ΛB − seem to imply the presence of cuts in the Regge exchange formalism, whereas the reaction Δ(1236) K ∗ (890) does not require such cuts. Upper limits of 1 and 2 μb are found for the reactions K − n → Λ A 1 and K − n → Λ A 2 .
CROSS SECTIONS ARE CORRECTED FOR ALL RESONANCE DECAY MODES EXCEPT FOR K*- DEL0 PRODUCTION WHICH IS ONLY CORRECTED FOR UNSEEN AK0 DECAYS. NO EVIDENCE FOR NON-DIFFRACTIVE A1 AND A2 PRODUCTION.
MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD EXPONENTIAL FITS TO DIFFERENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS.
Final states produced by charged baryon exchange in π − p interactions at 12 GeV/ c laboratory momentum have been studied. Forward neutrons with momenta determined by a calorimeter to be greater than 8.5 ± 1.4 GeV/ c triggered the SLAC 40-inch hydrogen bubble chamber which operated at a 10 Hz expansion rate. We report data on the reactions π − p→n π − π + , π − p→n π − π + π 0 , and π − p→n π − π − π + π + . In π − n π − p→n π + , production of ϱ and f mesons is observed. Differential cross sections are derived and compared with data at lower incident momentum and with theoretical models. In π − p→n π − π + π 0 , ω production is observed with a differential cross section having a deep near u ′= 0.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 . In π − p→n π − π − π + π + , Δ − , ϱ and f production is observed . The observed mass distributions appear to indicate the production of wide resonaces decaying into ϱππ. Some evidence for ϱ-ω interference is also observed.

CORRECTED FOR BACKGROUND.
Results on backward (3 π ) - system produced in π - p→p f π + π - π - reaction at 9 and 12 GeV/ c are given. The ϱ 0 π - mass spectra show two clear signals at 1050 MeV (A 1 region) and 1303 MeV (A - 2 ). The width of the enhancement in the A 1 region (195±32 MeV) is narrower than found in diffractive experiments. Total backward cross sections for those signals are of the same order of magnitude (∼0.5 μb).

The s and u variations of the np charge-exchange (np→pn) cross section are measured to be relatively smooth and without structure at intermediate energies—in sharp contast to previous results.

We have studied backward meson and baryon production in π−p→nπ+π− at 8 GeV/c using a streamer chamber triggered by the detection of the interaction of the neutron in thick-plate optical spark chambers. Our data sample of 866 events is dominated by the quasi-two-body final states Δ−(1232)π+, nρ0, and nf0. We study the differential and total backward cross sections for these states and the decay angular distributions of the resonances. The results for the Δ− and ρ0 indicate that both nucleon and Δ exchange in the u channel are important in their production, while f0 production is, as expected, consistent with nucleon exchange.

Fourteen reaction channels contributing to the final state have been separated by a prism-plot analysis of π−p→π−π−π+p interactions at 13.2 GeV/c. The results of this study are presented in terms of partial and differential cross sections, invariant-mass and decay-angular distributions, and comparisons with other separation techniques for the various resonant states.

RELATIVISTIC BREIT-WIGNER FIT WITH POLYNOMIAL BACKGROUND.
FIT TO D(SIG)/DT FROM DATA IN G REGION.
The differential cross section in the very forward direction has been measured for K − and K + scattering (break-up and coherent) on a deuterium target at an incident momentum of 10 GeV/ c . From these measurements and using a model for the scattering and re-scattering effects in deuterium, we have exploited the Coulomb-nuclear interference to deduce the real part of the K ± n scattering amplitude at a momentum transfer t = 0. The measurements are the first ever obtained for the K + n reaction and the first at this energy for the K − n reaction. A comparison has been made between our results and those predicted from dispersion relations. A new dispersion-relation fit including all the existing K ± n values at different energies has been performed.
