We report on a study of pion charge-exchange scattering carried out at Fermilab in the energy range 20 to 200 GeV. The results can be described remarkably well by a simple Regge-pole model. The charge-exchange cross sections in the forward direction lead to a prediction for the difference in total cross sections of π−p and π+p which is in satisfactory agreement with direct measurements of this difference in another experiment at Fermilab.

Differential cross-section measurements are presented for π−p→γn at five energies around the p33(1232) resonance. A detailed comparison is made with γn→π−p deduced from γd experiments. In general, the results are in support of detailed balance. Using the Christ-Lee-Donnachie-Shaw model, our new data indicate that the T-violating phase in the isovector part of the M1+ multipole is less than 2°, which is a very sensitive test of time-reversal invariance. No evidence is found for a possible isotensor component of the electromagnetic current. Our data are compared to various multipole analyses. In general, the agreement is poor.

Differential cross sections for π−p→π0n at five angles for 239, 264, 295, 323, and 375 MeV/c incident pions are presented. The measurements employ the neutron-photon coincidence method, using carefully calibrated neutron counters and an efficient, large-area photon detector. Good agreement is found with the results of the CERN phase-shift analysis.
