The folded differential cross sections dσdΩ(θ*)+dσdΩ(π−θ*), where θ* is the center-of-mass angle of the negatively charged outgoing particle, have been measured for the reactions p¯p→π−π+ and K−K+ at 15 incident beam momenta between 360 and 760 MeV/c with much better statistics than previous experiments. The total cross sections for these reactions, σπ−π+ and σκ−κ+, have also been obtained by integrating the folded differential cross sections. The folded differential cross sections of both reactions show a similar behavior at all measured beam momenta, characterized by a prominent peak at |cosθ*|=1. The cross section σπ−π+ shows a smooth but rapidly decreasing behavior as the beam momentum increases up to 550 MeV/c, whereas σκ−κ+ shows a smooth and flat momentum dependence. These results are compared with some theoretical calculations based on nonrelativistic quark models. Although the shape of the folded differential cross section of the p¯p→π−π+ reaction is rather well reproduced by these models, that of the p¯p→K−K+ reaction, and, in particular, the prominent peak at |cosθ*|=1 cannot be explained at all. The information from other experiments indicates that this discrepancy is most pronounced at the backward angles. Moreover, the momentum dependence of both σπ−π+ and σκ−κ+ is not satisfactorily reproduced by these models.

The total and differential p¯p charge-exchange cross sections were obtained at seven momenta in the range 480 to 728 MeV/c. The total cross sections are roughly consistent with other data. The momentum dependences of the Legendre coefficients a1a0, a2a0, and a3a0 of the differential cross sections do not agree well with the predictions of the Bryan-Phillips model, unlike the case of elastic scattering.

p p elastic total and differential cross sections were measured at 17 incident momenta in the range 374–680 MeV/ c . No prominent feature was seen in them to clearly indicate the existence of the S-meson. There is, however, a small enhancement at the S-meson mass, which is equivalent to the elastic total cross section of 4.6 ± 2.1 mb. The behavior of the Legendre expansion coefficients of the angular distributions with incident momentum agrees well the predictions of the OBE model of Bryan and Phillips.

p 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 K K π system in the four-body final states shows that the F 1 meson is a spurious effect due to systematic biases. In the momentum range investigated, the C = +1 final states are strongly suppressed.

Differential cross-section and polarization measurements for the reaction π − p → K 0 Σ 0 are presented from 1395 to 2375 MeV/ c incident beam momentum. The polarization data from an earlier experiment, from thershold to 1334 MeV/ c , have been re-analysed by an improved method leading to a substantial reduction in the errors.

New data are presented on the reaction π − p→K 0 Λ 0 at 13 incident momenta between 1395 and 2375 MeV/ c . A partial-wave analysis has been performed using these data and previous data at lower momenta. The resulting resonance parameters are in broad agreement with recent πN analyses and with the predictions of SU(6) W × O(3) for the couplings.

The angular distribution and polarization for the reaction K − n→ π − Λ have been measured in the c.m.s. energy range 1750 MeV to 2000 MeV by means of a bubble chamber experiment, producing on average 500 events of this type per 10 MeV energy interval. The data are compared with the predictions of a recent partial-wave analysis of this reaction.

We present data for the single-pion production final states K 0 π − p, K − π 0 p and K − π + n from K − p interactions at 11 c.m. energies between 1775 and 1957 MeV. Using the K 0 π − p events the branching ratio (K s 0 → π + π − /K s 0 → all) has been determined to be 0.657 ± 0.011. New values have also been determined for the masses and widths of the K ∗0 (890) and the K ∗− (8990). These give a value of 1.5 ± 1.5 MeV for the electromagnetic mass splitting of the K ∗ . Differential cross sections and the spin-density matrix elements have been extracted for the reactions K − p → K ∗− p and K − p → K ∗0 n . An energy dependent partial-wave analysis of the K ∗ N channel from threshold up to 2170 MeV c.m. energy has been carried out yielding values for 17 resonant amplitudes for the expected Y ∗ 's and a new resonance, the S01(2030).

New data are presented for the reaction K − p → Λπ + π − at 11 energies between 1775 and 1957 MeV in the centre-of-mass. New values for the masses and widths of the Σ ± (1385) are given. The differential cross sections and the complete spin density matrices for the reactions K − p → π ± Σ ∓ (1385) were extracted from these data using also the information from the Λ decay. An energy-dependent partial-wave analysis has been carried out over the c.m. range 1775–2170 MeV also using data from an earlier experiment. Comparisons between the observed resonant amplitudes and SU(3) and SU(6) W ⊎ O(3) predictions have been made.
