A systematic analysis is presented on the reaction K + p → K ∗0 (890) Δ ++ for nine incident momenta between 4.6–16.0 GeV/ c . Cross sections, differential cross sections and vector meson single density matrix elements are given. As a function of energy, little if any change is observed in either the shapes of the differential cross sections or in the values of the density matrix elements. The data are interpreted in terms of current ideas on t -channel exchange mechanisms.

We present the results of an analysis of data for the reaction π−p→KS0K−p at 20.3-GeV/c incident π momentum. We find that the K0K− effective-mass spectrum shows a single peak in the A2 region which is well fitted by a Breit-Wigner shape. The data in the A2-peak region are inconsistent with the split-A2 shape reported earlier. The distribution in t of the A2 events shows a forward dip followed by an exponential falloff. The A2 decay angular distribution is well fitted by a single resonance with quantum numbers JP=2+. The results of an analysis of the density-matrix elements for this reaction are given.
CORRECTED FOR UNSEEN K0 DECAYS AND FOR BREIT-WIGNER RESONANCE TAILS.
INCLUDING THE DENSITY MATRIX ELEMENTS OMITTED FROM THIS FIT GIVES NO SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT AND THE NEW PARAMETERS ARE CLOSE TO ZERO. LIM INDICATES FITTED VALUE LIMITED FROM VARIATION BY PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS FROM OTHER PARAMETERS.
