We have made an improved measurement of the parity-nonconserving electric-dipole transition amplitude between the 6S and 7S states of atomic cesium. We obtain Im(EPNC)β=−1.576(34) mV/cm, which is in good agreement with the predictions of the standard model and earlier less precise measurements. This places more stringent constraints on alternatives to the standard model. We also see the first evidence of a nuclear-spin-dependent contribution to atomic parity nonconservation. The nuclear-spin dependence observed is in agreement with that predicted to arise from a nuclear anapole moment.

The reactionsπ−p→K0(890) Λ,K0(890)Σ0 andK0(890)Σ0 are studied at an incident momentum of 3.95 GeV/c using data from a high statistics bubble chamber experiment corresponding to ∼90 events/μb. The differential cross sections, density matrix elements of the vector meson and hyperon polarizations are presented. A transversity amplitude analysis is performed for each of the reactions. The results are compared with those obtained for the SU(3) related processesK−p→ϕΔ, ϕΣ0, ϕΣ0(1385) andϱ−Σ+(1385) and with predictions of the additive quark model and SU(6) sum rules.

The reactionsπ−p→K0∑0(1385) andπ−p→K+∑−(1385) are studied at an incident momentum of 3.95 GeV/c using data from a high statistics bubble chamber experiment corresponding to approximately 90 events/μb. The total and differential cross sections and the density matrix elements of the Σ(1385) are presented. The results are compared with those obtained for the related processesπpp→K+∑+(1385) and\(K^ -p \to \pi ^ \mp\sum ^ \pm(1385)\) in this energy range. Evidence is presented for the existence of production mechanisms with exotic exchanges in thet channel.
