Backward production of the B meson in K−p interactions at 4.2 GeVc

The backward production of the B(1235) meson is studied in the reaction K^?p→Σ^?π⁺ω. This reaction is observed in the final state Σ^?π⁺π⁺π^?π⁰. A π⁺ω mass enhancement is visible in the region of the B meson for events with small |u|K^? →Σ^?) squared four-momentum transfer. The properties of the enhancement agree with those of the B meson. The cross section for K^?p→Σ^?B⁺ at $\text{4.15}\text{GeV}\text{c}$ incident K^? momentum is (3.2 ± 0.5) μb. The backward production of the B meson is compared with similar baryon exchange productions of the A₁ and C(Q₁) axial vector mesons observed in the same experiment.     

A study of the reactions π−p → K1X, K1Σ and K1Y11(1385) at 3.93 GeV/c

We have investigated the final states K¹⁰(890)Σ, $\text{K}{}^{10}\text{(890)Σ}{}^0$ and K¹⁰(890) Y₁¹⁰(1385) produced in π^?p interactions at 3.93 GeV/c. We present the differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements for the resonances as functions of momentum transfer, as well as the gL and Σ⁰ polarizations. The Σ⁰ polarization is found to be positive and maximal. An amplitude analysis is performed for the K¹ Λ and $\text{K}{}^1\text{Σ}{}^0$ reactions, and it is found that one natural parity transversity amplitude is dominant for the latter.     

Ω− produced in K−p reactions at 4.2 GeV/c

Forty $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ events have been observed in a large (133 events/βb) experiment at 4.2 GeV/c incident K^? momentum. Thirty nine of the events come from the three-body reaction $\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{p}\text{→Ω}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{K}{}^0$. The $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ is mainly produced in the forward hemisphere (direction of the incident K^?). The lifetime is measured to be τ = (0.75 _+0.14?0.11 × 10^?10 sec substantially less than the Particle Data Group value of (1.3 _?0.3^+0.2) × 10^?10 sec. The mass is determined to be 1671.7 ± 0.6 MeV, in good agreement with other determinations. The decay asymmetry parameter α (for the decay mode $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{→ Λ}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$) is found to be ?0.2 ± 0.4.

Inclusiveπ° production in 360 GeVpp interactions using the european hybrid spectrometer

The intermediate and forward gamma detectors of EHS are used to reconstructπ°'s produced by 360 GeV/cpp interactions in the Rapid Cycling Bubble Chamber (RCBC). Using thepp forwardbackward symmetry, the inclusiveπ° production cross section is obtainedσ _π°=(132±11) mb. The averageπ° multiplicity is determined as a function of the charged particle multiplicity. The (1?x) dependence is given for differentp _T regions.     

A−2 production in π−p interactions at 3.9 GeV/c

The reaction π^?p → A^?₂p at 3.9 GeV/c incident momentum is studied using data corresponding to the ?^°π^?, ηπ^? and K^δ_sK^? decay modes of the A^?₂. Unnatural parity exchange is found to be important at this energy. The natural parity exchange component of the differential cross section exhibits structure at t′ ≈ GeV².     

Properties of pp annihilations into strange particles at 702 and 757 MeV/c

$\text{p}\text{p}$ annihilations, leading to the production of at least one neutral K meson in the final state, have been studied in the incident momentum region of 700–760 MeV/c. Topological cross sections and cross sections for the various exclusive final states are presented. Detailed analyses of the different final states have been carried out to study the importance of resonance production and of quasi two-body and quasi three-body processes. A detailed study of the $\text{K}\text{K}\text{π}$ system in the four-body final states shows that the F₁ meson is a spurious effect due to systematic biases. In the momentum range investigated, the C = +1 final states are strongly suppressed.     

Two-particle correlations in 360 GeV/cp p interactions

Two particle correlations of hadrons produced in 360 GeV/cpp interactions are investigated in the transverse plane and in rapidity. The data were obtained at the European hybrid spectrometer equipped with a rapid cycling bubble chamber. The observed transverse and rapidity correlations are compared with the one string LUND-and a two string dual parton-model. These models predict in general stronger correlations in the transverse plane and much weaker correlations in rapidity than found in the data. The LUND-FRITIOF-and multichain dual parton models provide a better reproduction of the data, although the agreement is not yet satisfactory. Only the UA5 cluster model GENCL shows agreement with the data.
