The differential cross sections for π − p elastic scattering have been measured near 180°, in the momentum range 875–1580 MeV/c. The results are compared with recent phase shift analysis, showing some notable discrepancies.

The π−p elastic scattering differential cross section has been obtained at 18 incident momenta from 1.71 to 5.53 GeV/c. The measurements were taken over a limited range of squared four-momentum transfer t near the forward direction. The statistical accuracy and resolution of these data are comparable to, or better than, existing data. The parameter b in the expression dσdt=Aebt has been determined at each of our incident momenta, and a large (∼25%) enhancement in b as a function of momentum is observed at a c.m. energy of ∼2290 MeV. The relation of this bump in b with the well-established bump in the total π−p cross section at ∼2200 MeV is discussed.

Single-pion production in π−−p interactions has been studied at 905, 960, and 1100 MeV. Comparison with the isobar and one-pion-exchange (OPE) mechanisms of pion production shows that, below 1 BeV, pion production occurs primarily through the formation of an intermediate excited state of the nucleon (isobar), while at higher energies the influence of the ρ resonance in the ππ system becomes increasingly important. There is some evidence for an I=2 state in the events at the lower energies.

Approximately 1200 π−-proton interactions in a liquid hydrogen bubble chamber were studied to obtain the elastic differential cross section and inelastic partial cross sections at 950±20 Mev mean laboratory energy. Relative cross sections were converted to absolute values using the total cross section obtained by Cool and co-workers with counters. The differential cross section is inconsistent with a resonance of definite total angular momentum and parity and can be fitted by a superposition of partial waves of angular momenta up to 3ℏ without spin-flip scattering. In the center-of-mass system, 30% of the pions scatter beyond a broad minimum of the cross section at 75°.

The differential cross-section for π - -p elastic scattering over the angular range 125° to 178° center of mass has been measured between 1.28 and 3.0 GeV/ c . Considerable structure is found and is discussed in terms of direct channel resonances.

We have investigated the interactions of (650±15) MeV π— in a hydrogen bubble chamber. About 104 pictures were examined and 4561 events (1946 elastic, 1204 neutrals, 1315 single-pion production, 96 multi-pion production) were found along a 33.75·105 cm total track length. The values of the deduced cross-sections are σ(π--p, elastic) = = (17.82 ± 0.70) mb, σ(neutrals) = (11.35 ± 0.54) mb, σ(π-π0p) = (4.79 ± 0.26)mb, σ(π-π+n) = (7.05 ± 0.34)mb, σ(π-π+π0n) = (0.71 ± 0.08)mb, σ(π-π0π0p) = (0.05 ± 0.02)mb, σ(total) = (41.82 ± 0.15) mb For the elastic events, the differential cross-section was fitted by a fifth-order polynomial of cos ϑ and also expanded in a sum of Legendre polynomials: we deduce that the higher azimuthal states, up toF5/2, are present. For the single-pion production the effective mass distributions were compared with the Olsson-Yodh isobar model predictions. The agreement with the model is not very satisfactory for the enhancements in the mass effective spectra of the π+π-, π-π0, di-pion channels nor for the c.m.s. angular distributions.
