Inclusive production of vector mesons in π+ p interactions at 250 GeV/c

We report on a study of ρ⁰, ρ⁺, ω, \(\bar K^{*0} (892)\) andK ^*0 (892) inclusive production in π⁺ p interactions at 250 GeV/c, for ρ⁺, \(\bar K^{*0} (892)\) for the first time in a π⁺ p experiment. The data are compared withK ⁺ p data in the same experiment, with results of other experiments and with quark-parton models. Interesting differences are found between ρ^+,0 and ω production.     

Inclusive\bar K^{0*} (892) andK 0*(892) production on silicon by 200 GeVK − andπ −

The production of the neutralK ^? (892) resonances by 200 GeVK ^? andπ ^? has been studied over the kinematic range 0.0<x _f<1.0 andp _t ² <5.0 GeV². Longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions are presented. In addition the decay angular distributions inK ^? fragmentation to \(\bar K^{0*} \) have been investigated.     

Some remarks on the identity between a variational integral and its relaxed functional

Summary Letf: (x, z)∈R ⁿ×Rⁿ→f(x, z)∈[0, +∞] be measurable inx and convex inz. It is proved, by an example, that even iff verifies a condition as|z| ^p≤f(x, z)≤Λ(a(x)+|z|^q) with 1<p<q,a∈L _loc ^s (R ⁿ),s>1, the functional that isL ¹(Ω)-lower semicontinuous onW ^1,1(Ω), does not agree onW ^1,1(Ω) with its relaxed functional in the topologyL ¹(Ω) given by inf

A finitely convergent “row-action” method for the convex feasibility problem

We present a modification of the Cyclic Subgradient Projection (CSP) method by Censor and Lent, which solves the convex feasibility problem in a finite number of steps when a Slater type condition holds, while preserving its row-action properties. A linear rate of convergence for the CSP method is established assuming the same hypothesis.Research partially supported by CNPq, under Grant No. 301699/81.     

Error bounds for strongly convex programs and (super)linearly convergent iterative schemes for the least 2-norm solution of linear programs

Given an arbitrary point (x, u) inR ⁿ × R ₊ ^m , we give bounds on the Euclidean distance betweenx and the unique solution to a strongly convex program in terms of the violations of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions by the arbitrary point (x, u). These bounds are then used to derive linearly and superlinearly convergent iterative schemes for obtaining the unique least 2-norm solution of a linear program. These schemes can be used effectively in conjunction with the successive overrelaxation (SOR) methods for solving very large sparse linear programs.Sponsored by the United States Army under Contract No. DAAG29-80-C-0041.

Proton-proton correlations at small relative momentum in neon-nucleus collisions at E/A=400 and 800 MeV

Proton-proton small angle correlations have been measured in neon-nucleus collisions, using the 4 pi detector Diogene, at 400 and 800 MeV per nucleon incident energies. Values of the size of the emitting region are obtained by comparison with the Koonin formula, taking into account the biases of the apparatus. The dependence of the density on target mass and incident energy is also analysed.
