Abstract The results are presented of two partial-wave analyses of the (3π) − system in 30 000 events of the reaction π − p → π − π − π + p at 11.2 GeV/ c . Both techniques incorporate the assumptions of the isobar model and are (a) the University of Illinois program which fits in terms of the (3π) density matrix elements and (b) an amplitude parametrisaton including possible effects of both spin non-flip and spin flip at the baryon vertex. The results obtained with these independent programs are found to be very close. The proportions of contributing states, their t -dependence and the phases of off-diagonal density matrix elements are discussed for the mass range 0.9 M (3 π ) 1.9 GeV/ c 2 . The A 1 phenomenon is investigated in the context of a recent model; values of the mass, width and cross sections for the A 1 , A 2 , A 3 states are given, and an interesting variation in the 2 + P M =1 wave is observed at high masses.

SummaryProduction and decay properties of the B-meson are studied in the reactions π±p→B±p at 11 GeV/c. Values for mass, width, total and differential cross-sections and spin density matrix elements are given. The spin and parity, and the helicity states in the B→πω decay, are analysed.RiassuntoSi studiano le proprietà di produzione e di decadimento del mesone B nelle reazioni π±p→B±p a 11 GeV/c e si misurano i valori di massa, larghezza e sezioni d’urto differenziali della risonanza. L’analisi di spin parità condotta sulla distribuzione angolare del decadimento sequenziale B→ωπ favorisce le ipotesiJP=1+, 2+, mentre l’ipotesiJP=3± sembra improbabile. Nell’ipotesiJP=1+ si calcolano gli elementi della matrice densità e si stima il contributo di ondaD al processo di decadimento.

SummaryAzimuthal and longitudinal correlations between charged mesons have been studied on a large sample of four- and six-prong events produced in π−p collisions at 11.2 GeV/c in the 2 m CERN HBC. The effect introduced by the ρ-meson has been investigated. The Goldhaber, Goldhaber, Lee and Pais (GGLP) effect is observed and compared with available data on π−p at 40 GeV/c and on pp in the momentum interval (100÷400) GeV/c. The ρ-meson accounts for the azymuthal asymmetry of π+π− pairs, but not for the like-charge pair asymmetry. The longitudinal correlations, however, cannot be justified by the presence of the ρ-meson. A short-range correlation survives for Δy≲1, due neither to the ρ-meson nor to Bose-Einstein statistics.RiassuntoSi studiano le correlazioni longitudinali e azimutali tra coppie di mesoni carichi prodotti nelle interazioni con 4 e 6 particelle cariche nello stato finale. Si utilizzano i dati di un esperimento di ampia statistica di π−p a 11.2 GeV/c nella camera a bolle di 2 m del CERN, riempita con idrogeno. Si indaga l’effetto indotto in tali correlazioni dalla presenza del mesone ρ. Si misura l’effetto di Goldhaber, Goldhaber, Lee e Pais e lo si confronta con quanto osservato in altri esperimenti. La presenza del mesone ρ rende conto dell’asimmetria azimutale delle coppie π+π−, ma non giustifica quella delle coppie di mesoni di ugual carica. Inoltre le correlazioni longitudinali non risultano dipendere dal mesone ρ; si costata la presenza di una correlazione a corto raggio (Δy≲1) non dovuta nè al mesone ρ nè alla statistica di Bose-Einstein.РеэюмеИэучаются аэимутальные и продольные корреляции между эаряжен-ными меэонами на больщой выборке четырех- и щестилучевых событий, обраэо-ванных при π−p соударениях при 11.2 ГзB/c в 2M водородной пуэырьковой камере в ЦЕРНе. Исследуется зффект, обусловленный ρ меэоном. Наблюдается зффект Голдхабера, Голдхабера, Ли и Пейса. Проводится сравнение с имеюшимися данными для π−p соударений при 40 ГзB/c и pp соударений в интервале импульсов от 100 до 400 ГзB/c. ρ меэон общясняет аэимутальную асимметрию π+π− пар, но не асим-метрию одноименно эаряженных пар. Однако продольные корреляции не могут быть общяснены наличием ? меэона. Короткодействуюшая корреляция не сохрана-ется для Δy/≲1, ни вследствие ? меэона, ни вследствие статистики Боэе-Эйщтейна.

SummaryThe analysis of A2−→ηπ− at 11.2 GeV/c confirms that A2− is essentially produced by natural-parity exchange. In the differential cross-section as a function oft′ there is evidence of the dip at smallt′ values. The branching ratio (A2→ηπ)/(A2→ϱπ) is 0.18±0.05.RiassuntoL’analisi del decadimento A2−→ηπ− nel sistema di Gottfried-Jackson conferma che il mesone A2− è essenzialmente prodotto mediante scambio di parità naturale. La sezione d’urto differenziale mostra un decremento per piccoli valori dit′. Il rapporto di decadimento (A2→ηπ)/(A2→ϱπ) risulta essere 0.18±0.05.РеэюмеАналиэ A2−→ηπ− при 11.2 ГзВ/c подтверждает, что A2− преимушественно рождается в реэультате обмена с естественной четностью в системе Готтфри-да-Джексона. В дифференциальном поперечном сечении, как функцииt′, имеется провал при малыхt′. Отнощение ветвей распадов (A2→ηπ)/(A2→ϱπ) составляет 0.18±0.05.

Discrimination between the standard theory of electroweak interactions and its extensions

G. Costa; P. Kabir

SummaryThe effective neutral-current Lagrangian for all the gauge models based on the spontaneously broken symmetry groups G0= SU2,Lx U{1},G0=G0xG′ (where the fermion fields appearing in the standard model transform in the usual way with respect to G0 and are singlets with respect toGLR=GLRxG′ (with some restriction on the manner of symmetry brcaking in this case) can be expressed in terms of five parametersa,b,c,d andx=sin2ϑw. Measurements of low-q2 phenomena are analysed to distinguish between these alternatives.RiassuntoII lagrangiano effettivo relativo a correnti neutre può essere espresso in funzione di cinque parametria,b, c, d ex=sin2ϑw per tutti i modelli basati sui gruppi di gaugeG0=G0xG′ (dove i campi fermionici che compaiono nel modello standard si trasformano nel modo usuale rispetto a G0 e sono singoletti rispetto aG′),GLR=SU2, LxSU2, RxU1 eG=LR=GLRxG′ (con alcune restrizioni, in quest’ultimo caso, sul modo in cui la simmetria è violata spontaneamente). Si analizzano quantità misurabili a basso q2 per discriminare tra le varie alternative.РезюмеЭффективный Лагранж иан нейтральных токо в для всех калибровочн ых моделей, основанных н а группах спонтанно н арушенных симметрией G0=SU2,L × U1, g0 = G0 х G′ (где фермионные п оля, появляющиеся в стандартной модели, п реобразуются обычным образом отно сительна G0 и являются синглетами по отноше нию G′), GLR == SU2,L х SU2,R х U2,R и glr = glr ×G′ c некот орым ограничением на спос об нарушения симметрии в этом случ ае) могут быть выражен ы в терминах пяти параме тров а, b, с, d и х = sin2 θw.
