Electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections have been measured at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center at four-momentum transfers squared (q 2 ) of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5and 3.75 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The angular distributions at q 2 = 2.5 and 3.75 (GeV/ c ) 2 are sufficient to provide values of the ratio G E / G M independent of the results from other laboratories. Our results are compatible with scaling, G E (q 2 ) = G M (q 2 )/ μ , within the experimental errors.

Direct measurements were made of neutron-proton elastic scattering differential cross sections at high energies. A neutron beam with a continuous momentum spectrum between 1.2 and 6.7 GeV/c was scattered off a liquid hydrogen target, and spark chambers were used to determine the neutron scattering angle and, in a proton spectrometer, to measure the momentum and scattering angle of the recoil proton. Differential cross sections are presented over the incident neutron momentum range in intervals of the order of 0.5-GeV/c wide. The cross sections have an exponential peak in the forward direction and then flatten and become isotropic about the 90° c.m. scattering angle. At larger angles, the cross sections again rise towards the expected charge-exchange peak, which was not within the range of this experiment. There is little evidence of any other structure in the cross section. Values are presented for the slope of the diffraction peak, and comparisons are made between these slopes, and the 90° c.m. cross sections, for pp and np elastic scattering. The results presented here differ from those previously reported because of an error in a Monte Carlo calculation and in the availability of improved data on the real part of the np elastic scattering amplitude. At 5 GeV/c, a direct comparison of pp and np data allows the I=0 differential cross section to be extracted. The np data have been fitted in powers of cosθc.m. for |cosθc.m.|<0.8 for each energy range.

In a study of photoproduction at photon energies between 0.3 and 5.8 GeV in a hydrogen bubble chamber, approximately 31 000 events with three, five, or seven outgoing charged particles were analyzed. This paper gives a survey of the experimental procedure and of resonance production in quasi-two-body reactions. The cross sections for the processes γp→pπ+π−, γp→pπ+π+π−π−, γp→pπ+π+π+π−π−π−, γp→pV (V=ρ0,ω,φ), γp→pη, γp→pX0, γp→Δ++π−, and γp→Δ0π+ have been measured as a function of the photon energy. For reactions γp→pρ0, γp→pω, and γp→Δ++π−, the differential cross sections and density matrix elements are given for various intervals of the photon energy. The photoproduction of vector mesons and Δ isobars is discussed in terms of several models.

Small-angle differential cross sections are presented here for π−+p→π0+n charge-exchange scattering between 2.4 and 3.8 GeV/c. The differential cross section near t=0 displays two minima and one maximum in this momentum interval, reflecting the presence of the N32*(2420), N32*(2850), and N12*(2650) resonances; at larger t values, the cross sections fall off exponentially as a function of t, just as has been previously observed for charge-exchange scattering above 6 GeV/c. The pion-charge-exchange data reported here at 6 and 10 GeV/c extend out to large angles, showing a maximum near t=0, followed by an exponential falloff as e10t, a minimum near −t=0.6 (GeV/c)2, and then a second maximum near −t=1.0 (GeV/c)2. The π−+p→η0+n differential cross section shows a maximum near t=0, followed by an exponential falloff as e4t, much less steep than the π0 slope. These data are compared to our previously published data and to those of the Saclay-Orsay group.

The differential cross sections for the photoproduction reactions γ+p→π++n, γ+p→K++Λ0, and γ+p→K++Σ0 have ben measured for incident laboratory photon energies between 3.4 and 4.0 GeV and for meson center-of-mass angles from about 25° to 45°. The reactions were studied by observing only the charged mesons. The momenta, velocities, and angles of the mesons were measured with a magnetic spectrometer, and the equivalent of nearly monochromatic gamma rays was obtained by performing bremsstrahlung subtractions. The cross sections agree with the inequality predicted from unbroken SU(3). The measured behavior of dσdt as a function of t shows similarities to that observed in studies of mesonnucleon scattering.
