Final results are presented from a spark-chamber experiment performed at the Princeton-Pennsylvania Accelerator to measure the differential cross section near 0° for the reaction π−p→π0n. The data are extrapolated to 0° and the results of the extrapolation are compared with the results of other experiments and with dispersion relation predictions. The values of the forward-scattering amplitude for the fifteen values of incident π− momentum at which measurements were made are as follows: (p (MeV/c), (dσdΩ)0° (mb/sr)): (561,3.28), (636,2.95), (687,3.38), (750,2.48), (802,1.33), (930,2.42), (1005,3.15), (1030,3.43), (1077,1.70), (1134,1.04), (1434,0.31), (1579,0.56), (1711,0.73), (1914,0.87), (2106,0.56). The combined statistical and systematic uncertainties in these values is about ±9%. A description of the apparatus, a discussion of the methods of analysis, and a discussion of the errors contributing to the uncertainties in the above results are included in the text.

Small-angle differential cross sections are presented here for π−+p→π0+n charge-exchange scattering between 2.4 and 3.8 GeV/c. The differential cross section near t=0 displays two minima and one maximum in this momentum interval, reflecting the presence of the N32*(2420), N32*(2850), and N12*(2650) resonances; at larger t values, the cross sections fall off exponentially as a function of t, just as has been previously observed for charge-exchange scattering above 6 GeV/c. The pion-charge-exchange data reported here at 6 and 10 GeV/c extend out to large angles, showing a maximum near t=0, followed by an exponential falloff as e10t, a minimum near −t=0.6 (GeV/c)2, and then a second maximum near −t=1.0 (GeV/c)2. The π−+p→η0+n differential cross section shows a maximum near t=0, followed by an exponential falloff as e4t, much less steep than the π0 slope. These data are compared to our previously published data and to those of the Saclay-Orsay group.

Results of a measurement of the π−p charge-exchange process at backward angles are presented. Differential cross sections were measured in the angular region −0.5<cosθ*<−1.0 at incident momenta of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 GeV/c. An additional background subtraction to a version of the data published previously has a significant effect at 6 GeV/c and brings the data into agreement with more recent measurements. The 6-GeV/c data were combined with existing measurements of the differential cross sections for backward π+p and π−p elastic scattering to yield values for the isotopic-spin-½ and −32 u-channel and s-channel amplitudes for backward pion-nucleon scattering and for the magnitude of the phases between them. It is found that the u-channel amplitudes can be explained by pure Regge-pole (Δδ, Nα) exchange only near the extreme backward direction, but that a Reggeized absorption model agrees at least qualitatively with the data. The phase difference between the I=12 and 32 s-channel amplitudes is approximately 90° over the region −0.8<u<0 (GeV/c)2.

We have studied neutral final states produced in π−p collisions at momenta of 1.71, 1.89, 2.07, 2.27, and 2.46 GeVc, by observing the γ rays emitted. In particular, measurements are presented of (i) π−p→π0n, for which the Regge-pole fit at momenta ≥5.9 GeVc also agrees rather well here; (ii) π−p→η0n, for which the Regge model which fits at higher energies does not agree here; (iii) π−p→π0γn, in which there is some evidence for a diffraction dissociation process as well as ω0-meson production; (iv) π−p→π0π0n, which is dominated by production of N*0(1236)π0 and by peripheral production of pion pairs. In (iv), the former process is found to fit with the same Reggeized ρ-meson exchange model as charge-exchange scattering, while the latter gives indication of the s-wave ππ interaction. An account is given of new techniques, particularly in the data analysis, which were developed in the course of this work.

Results are presented of measurements of the polarisation parameter for the reaction π−p→π°n : π°→γγ at 22 incident momenta in the resonance region. These results are generally in agreement with those of previous measurements and in qualitative agreement with predictions of phase shift analyses.
