We have studied the spin-parity structure of the 3π system produced opposite a proton or Δ++ in π+p interactions at 15 GeV/c. Our results suggest that the broad enhancement at 1.1 GeV, traditionally associated with the A1, does not have the properties usually associated with a resonant state. We obtain similar results for the A3 and A4 enhancements.

A prism plot analysis of the reaction π − p→p π + π − π − at 16 GeV/ c has been made and the results are compared with those obtained in a similar analysis of the reaction π + p→ p π + π + π − at the same energy. The three dominating reaction mechanisms (pion dissociation, reggeon exchange, proton diffraction dissociation) appear to be well separated, while considerable residual overlaps are present inside these classes. The prism plot method is discussed as a means for detecting hidden structures and some evidence is presented for a broad three-pion enhancement around 2 GeV decaying primarily into ϱ 0 π − .
