Differential cross sections for neutral-pion photoproduction on hydrogen in the region of the first resonance have been measured by two independent experiments detecting the recoil protons. The results of both measurements have been combined into one set of cross sections covering the photon energy range from 200 to 440 MeV at pion c.m. angles between 50 and 160 degrees.

The differential cross-section of the reaction γ + p → p + π 0 was measured at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, Hamburg, at mean photon energies of 4.0, 5.0 and 5.8 GeV and pion center of mass angles between 0° and 60°. The results are compared wiht theoretical calculations based on Reggeized vector meson exchange.

The asymmetry A = (σ + −σ − ) (σ + +σ − ) of the reaction γ p↑↓ → π 0 p was measured at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg at a mean photon energy of 4.0 GeV in the four-momentum transfer range 0.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 ⩽ −t ⩽ 1.1 (GeV/ c ) 2 in steps of approximately 0.08 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The π 0 -meson and the proton were detected in coincidence. The asymmetry is compatible with zero in the t -range 0.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 ⩽ − t ⩽ 0.4 (GeV/ c ) 2 and negative in the t -range ⩾ 0.5 (GeV/ c ) 2 .

The differential cross-section of the reaction γ p→ η p has been measured at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) at mean photon energies of 4 and 6 GeV in the momentum transfer range between zero and 1.4 GeV 2 . The data show a slight maximum around t =−0.15 GeV 2 and fall off smoothly till t =−1.4 GeV 2 . There is no indication of a dip around t =−0.5 GeV 2 .

The ratio R = (d σ /d t )( γ d → ( π 0 n)p)/(d σ /d t )( γ d → ( π 0 p)n), was measured at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg at a mean photon energy of 4.0 GeV in the four-momentum transfer range between t = − 0.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 and t = − 1.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 in steps of approximately 0.08 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The ratio R is less than 1 up to t = − 0.9 (GeV/ c ) 2 and shows a broad minimum around t = − 0.6 (GeV/ c ) 2 . Corrections for nuclear effects in the deuterium were not applied but are shown to be small.

The differential cross section of the reaction γ p → π 0 p has been measured at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg, at a mean photon energy of 4.0 GeV in the four-momentum transfer range between t = −0.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 and t = −1,2 (GeV/ c ) 2 in steps of approximately 0.08 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The experiment was carried out in connection with the measurements of the photoproduction of π 0 mesons on deuterium, which were described in the preceding article. In the present paper the contributions arising from background reactions are discussed in more detail.

The full TASSO data have been used to study the inclusive production of strange mesons ine+e− annihilations. Differential and total cross sections have been measured in the centre of mass energy range 14 to 44 GeV forK0,\(\bar K^0\) and 34.5 to 44 GeV forK*± (892). We have investigated the strange meson production properties in jets by studying the rapidity andpt2 distributions as well as the evolution of the multiplicities as a function of the event sphericity. We find no evidence that the strange meson yields increase with increasing sphericity faster than the total charged multiplicity.

Production of charmed mesons in γγ-interactions at PETRA energies has been observed in the TASSO detector. Cross sections for inclusiveD*± and\(D^0 \bar D^0 \) production have been measured. Neutral and charged meson pairs are estimated to be produced with comparable cross sections, and their sum seems to account for a sizeable fraction of σtot(γγ→hadrons) near the\(c\bar c\) threshold.

We report on an analysis of the multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced ine+e− annihilation into hadrons at c.m. energies between 14 and 46.8 GeV. The charged multiplicity distributions of the whole event and single hemisphere deviate significantly from the Poisson distribution but follow approximate KNO scaling. We have also studied the multiplicity distributions in various rapidity intervals and found that they can be well described by the negative binomial distribution only for small central intervals. We have also analysed forward-backward multiplicity correlations for different energies and selections of particle charge and shown that they can be understood in terms of the fragmentation properties of the different quark flavours and by the production and decay of resonances. These correlations are well reproduced by the Lund string model.

The reactione+e−→µ+µ− has been studied at centre of mass energies between 35.0 and 46.8 GeV using the TASSO detector at PETRA. We present measurements of the forward-backward charge asymmetry (Aμμ) and cross section σμμ for this reaction at three energies. At 35.0 GeV we obtain a cross section relative to the QED prediction ofRμμ=σμμ/σo=0.932±0.018±0.044 andAμμ=(−10.6−2.3+2.2±0.5)%. At 38.3 GeV we findRμμ=0.951±0.072−0.057+0.063 andAμμ=(+1.7−8.6+8.5±0.5)%. At 43.6 GeV we measureRμμ=0.921±0.037±0.055 andAμμ=(−17.6−4.3+4.4±0.5)%. Our results are in good agreement with the predictions of the standard model. Including previous TASSO data we present improved determinations of muonic electroweak parameters. We also report on lower limits of possible contributions from contact interactions.
If only one error is given, this is the sum of the statistical and systematic errors in quadrature.
The data are corrected for 'reduced QED' radiative corrections. Statistical errors only.
