Inclusive π − spectra have been measured for 14 N+C collisions at 41 A , 67 A , 80 A and 135 A MeV, the lowest energies measured for the charged pion. The cross sections fall exponentially with T π and the exponential slope factors at 90° in the nucleon-nucleon center of mass frame are determined. Energy distributions below a beam energy of 100 A MeV are less steep than expected from the monotonic decrease of the slope factor down to 100 A MeV. The production mechanism of energetic pions far below threshold is discussed for several models.

The near-threshold production of Phi mesons in p p collisions.

The pp->pp phi reaction has been studied at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY-Juelich, using the internal beam and ANKE facility. Total cross sections have been determined at three excess energies epsilon near the production threshold. The differential cross section closest to threshold at epsilon=18.5 MeV exhibits a clear S-wave dominance as well as a noticeable effect due to the proton-proton final state interaction. Taken together with data for pp omega-production, a significant enhancement of the phi/omega ratio of a factor 8 is found compared to predictions based on the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka rule.

Mass dependence of pion production in heavy ion collisions near, but below threshold

We have measured the inclusive cross section for production of negative pions near mid-rapidity in 20 Ne + NaF , 139 La + 139 La and 197 Au + 197 Au collisions at E = 183 and 236 MeV/u. Au + Au is the heaviest system from which subthreshold pion production has been measured to date. The dependence of the pion cross section on pion energy, beam energy and associated charged particle multiplicity is consistent with previous results both above and below threshold. The dependence of the cross section on the mass of the colliding system varies only slightly as the beam energy is reduced below threshold, in contrast to some previous measurements. Comparison with theory suggests that at these energies the pion production process is still dominated by nucleon-nucleon collisions.

Dijet Angular Distributions from anti-p p Collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Amidei, D. ; Apollinari, G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 62 (1989) 3020-3023, 1989.
Inspire Record 278394 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20046

We have measured dijet angular distributions at √s =1.8 TeV with the Collider Detector at Fermilab and the Tevatron p¯p Collider and find agreement with leading-order QCD. By comparing the distribution for the highest dijet invariant masses with the prediction of a model of quark compositeness, we set a lower limit on the associated scale parameter Λc at 330 GeV (95% C.L.).

Measurement of the eta production in proton proton collisions with the COSY time of flight spectrometer.

The COSY-TOF collaboration Abdel-Bary, M. ; Abdel-Samad, S. ; Bilger, R. ; et al.
Eur.Phys.J.A 16 (2003) 127-137, 2003.
Inspire Record 587236 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.43626

The reaction pp -> pp eta was measured at excess energies of 15 and 41 MeV at an external target of the Juelich Cooler Synchrotron COSY with the Time of Flight Spectrometer. About 25000 events were measured for the excess energy of 15 MeV and about 8000 for 41 MeV. Both protons of the process pp eta were detected with an acceptance of nearly 100% and the eta was reconstructed by the missing mass technique. For both excess energies the angular distributions are found to be nearly isotropic. In the invariant mass distributions strong deviations from the pure phase space distributions are seen.
