Cross section angular distributions for [...] photoproduction from hydrogen were measured for 28 laboratory photon energies from 574 to 1211 MeV. At most energies, the [...] center of mass angle was varied from 60[degrees] to 170[degrees] in steps of 10[degrees]. A magnetic spectrometer was used to measure the momentum and angle of the recoil proton. A scintillation counter hodoscope with lead convertors was used to detect the presence of at least one of the [...] decay gamma rays. For a majority of the measurements the [...] rates were separated from a contamination of pi pair rates using the difference in their distribution among the gamma counters. For the remainder of the measurements, charged pi pairs were eliminated using veto counters in front of the gamma counters. Internal inconsistency and comparison with other experiments indicate that the veto data are 10 to 15% low near 90[degrees] in the region of 750 MeV. The remainder of the data show good internal consistency and fair agreement with data of other experiments. The results show a peak at 140[degrees] near 1050 MeV which had been expected but not previously measured. Comparison of the backward angle data with that from experiments measuring cross sections very near 180[degrees] indicates either an inconsistency between experiments or a rapid drop in the cross section near 180[degrees] in the region around 800 MeV.

We present a measurement of the cross section for hadron production by e+e− annihilation in the vicinity of the previously observed resonance near 3.77 GeV. The data are used to determine the parameters of the ψ(3770) resonance. The values found are: mass, 3764±5 MeV/c2, total width, 23.5±5 MeV, and partial width to electron pairs, 276±50 eV.
THESE RESULTS ARE ALSO IN THE THESIS OF R. H. SCHINDLER, SLAC-219 (1979), THE RECORD OF WHICH CONTAINS THE TABULATED CROSS SECTIONS.
BREIT-WIGNER RESONANCE PLUS BACKGROUND FIT TO RADIATIVELY CORRECTED DATA YIELDS RESONANCE MASS OF 3764 +- 5 MEV, TOTAL WIDTH OF 23.5 +- 5 MEV AND PARTIAL WIDTH TO ELECTRON PAIRS OF 276 +- 50 EV.
PEAK CROSS SECTION FOR D MESON PAIR PRODUCTION AT PSI(3770) RESONANCE. J/PSI, PSI(3684) AND CONTINUUM BACKGROUND (R=2.5) SUBTRACTED.
We report on a high statistics measurement of the total and differential cross sections of the process gamma gamma -> pi^+ pi^- in the pi^+ pi^- invariant mass range 0.8 GeV/c^2 < W < 1.5 GeV/c^2 with 85.9 fb^{-1} of data collected at sqrt{s}=10.58 GeV and 10.52 GeV with the Belle detector. A clear signal of the f_0(980) resonance is observed in addition to the f_2(1270) resonance. An improved 90% confidence level upper limit Br.(eta'(958) -> pi^+ pi^-) < 2.9 x 10^{-3} is obtained for P- and CP-violating decay of the eta'(958) meson using the most conservative assumption about the interference with the background.

We present a measurement of the cross section for the reaction e + e − → e + e − π + π − π + π − at SPEAR. This channel is found to be large and dominated by the process γγ → ϱ 0 ϱ 0 → π + π − π + π − . The cross section, which is small just above the four-pion threshold, exhibits a large enhancement near the ϱ 0 ϱ 0 threshold.
Axis error includes +- 0.0/0.0 contribution (THE QUOTED ERRORS INCLUDE VARIOUS SYSTEMATIC ERRORS ADDED QUADRATICALLY).
