The reaction π + p→ ωΔ ++ (1236) is studied at 16 GeV/ c . Cross section, differential cross section, single and joint spin-density matrix elements are given and the correlations between the ε and Δ ++ (1236) decay angular distributions are investigated. Natural and unnatural spin-parity exchanges contribute to this reaction in roughly equal amounts. Natural exchanges lead predominantly to Δ ++ (1236) with helicity ± 3 2 , while unnatural exchanges lead predominantly to Δ ++ (1236) with helicity ± 1 2 and to ε with helicity zero. Furthermore, unnatural exchanges are small at t ′≅0.2 GeV 2 compared to other t ′ values, which may be due to the nonsense wrong-signature-zero of the B-meson exchange. Quark model relations are found to be satisfied by the data.

New data are presented, in the form of statistical tensors, for the reactions π + p → ( ϱ 0 , ω ) Δ ++ at 7.1 GeV/ c . Using these data, two types of model-dependent amplitude analyses have been performed. Both analyses, though based on different sets of assumptions, yield results which are in agreement with each other. The structure observed in the magnitudes and phases of the extracted amplitudes is consistent with that expected on the basis of currently accepted phenomenological ideas.

The well-known class-A quark-model relations of Białas and Zalewski are parametrised in a particular form, where one can compare the data with the predictions separately for the meson non-flip and flip parts, defined in the transversity frame. A 3-parameter fit to the joint decay angular distribution is performed on the experimental data, and the results are compared with the quark-model predictions for various regions of the four-momentum transfer. The effect of an s -wave state under the ρ 0 is discussed.
A THREE PARAMETER FIT IS MADE TO THE JOINT DECAY DISTRIBUTION.
The reactions π + p → Δ ++ π + π − and π + p → Δ ++ π + π − π o are used to study ϱ—ω interference at 5.45 GeV/ c . The fitted ϱ mass from a ϱ-ω interference fit is 788 MeV suggesting the possibility of a sum of different interference patterns. Hence the events are weighted by spin density matrix elements which tend to isolate particular exchanges. Results of a fit to these weighted events do not generally agree with the predictions of strong π—B and ϱ—A 2 exchange degeneracy.

The non-strange four-prong events of π + p interactions at 3.5 GeV/ c are studied. Cross sections are calculated for all resonance productions in the channels π + p → p π + π + π − ( σ T = 3.18 ± 0.13 mb) and π + p → p π + π + π − π o ( σ T = 4.03 ± 0.16 mb). The dominant two body reactions Δ ++ ϱ o and Δ ++ ω o are investigated in detail, and production and decay distributions are presented as well as joint decay density matrix elements and joint correlation terms. The Δ ++ ϱ o reaction is compared to predictions of OPE with absorption and the Δ ++ ω o is compared to rho-exchange with sharp cutoff.

Results are reported on the Δ ++ ϱ 0 and the Δ ++ ω 0 final states obtained from a 4 event/μb exposure of the Argonne National Laboratory 30 inch hydrogen bubble chamber to a π + beam at 5.45 GeV/ c . Data are presented on cross sections, differential cross sections, spin density matrix elements and differential cross-sections weighted by density matrix elements. Certain features of the data relevant to various Regge models are noted and the data is compared to a π -B exchange degenerate Regge model due to Abrams and Maor.

The reactions of positive pions with protons yielding four charged particles and one or more neutrals have been studied, especially the reaction π+p→Δ++ω0→pπ+π+π−π0. The results presented in this paper were obtained from a 100 000-picture exposure of the Argonne-MURA 30-in. liquid hydrogen bubble chamber, with a beam of incident pions of 4.09−GeVc momentum. Comparisons have been made with corresponding results of other experiments at various incident beam momenta, and with the predictions of some theoretical models of the π+p interaction.

Cross sections, differential cross sections, single and joint spin-density matrix elements are given for the reactions π+p→(ρ0, ω)Δ++ at 10.3 GeV/c. Correlations between the vector-meson and the Δ++ decay angular distributions are observed. A discussion of the results in terms of particle exchange, SU(3) symmetry, quark additivity, and the equal-phase hypothesis is presented. The amplitudes for the process π+p→ρ0Δ++ are extracted by a model-dependent analysis and compared with current theoretical predictions.

The major production channels of four-prong final states resulting from π+p interactions at a center-of-mass energy of 4.5 GeV are studied. In addition to total production cross sections, comprehensive listings of partial and resonance production cross sections are also given for each final state of interest. All final states, including nπ+π+π+π−, are found to exhibit copious resonance production.

The joint decay density-matrix elements have been measured for the ρ0Δ++ and ωΔ++ channels at 3.7 GeV/c. The data are presented as a function of momentum transfer in both the t-channel and s-channel coordinate systems. The presence of correlated decays is illustrated for both reactions by employing selective cuts on the decay angles of one resonance, and displaying the effects on the decay distribution of the opposing resonance. An amplitude analysis is performed with the data near 0° production angle, where we obtain a helicity decomposition of the scattering amplitude with no experimental ambiguity.
