Relevance of nucleon spin in amplitude analysis of reactions pi(-)p->pi(0)pi(0)n and pi(-)p->eta eta n
The measurements of reactions and on polarized targets at CERN found a strong dependence of pion
production amplitudes on nucleon spin. Analyses of recent measurements of
reaction on unpolarized targets by GAMS
Collaboration at 38 GeV/c and BNL E852 Collaboration at 18 GeV/c use the
assumption that pion production amplitudes do not depend on nucleon spin, in
conflict with the CERN results on polarized targets. We show that measurements
of and on unpolarized
targets can be analysed in a model independent way in terms of 4 partial-wave
intensities and 3 independent interference phases in the mass region where -
and -wave dominate. We also describe model-independent amplitude analysis of
reaction measured on polarized target, both in the
absence and in the presence of -wave amplitudes. We suggest that high
statistics measurements of reactions and be made on polarized targets at Protvino IHEP and at BNL, and
that model-independent amplitude analyses of this polarized data be performed
to advance hadron spectroscopy on the level of spin dependent production
amplitudes.Comment: 54 page
Enhanced 200 GeV/c K+ Beam Using Beryllium Filter
Abstract: Using beryllium as a selective hadron filter, the kaon fraction of a positively-charged 200 GeV/c secondary beam has been increased from 3% to IT 15% without an appreciable effect on tagging efficiency
Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Tension-Type Headache: A Review of Epidemiological and Experimental Studies
Study of muons from the direction of Cygnus X-3 using an underground proportional tube array
From July 1987 through March 1988 an array of proportional wire modules was operated as a muon detector at a depth of 2090 meters water equivalent in the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota. A spatial angular resolution of 1.2°was achieved for muon tracking. A clean sample of 1.02×105 muon trajectories recorded underground is used to search for an excess flux of muons from the direction of Cygnus X-3. For muons within the phase interval [0.6, 0.9] of the source's 4.8-h period, 90%-C.L. upper limits for fluxes arriving within 3°and 1.5°half-angle cones centered on the Cygnus X-3 direction are 8.5×1011 cm-2s-1 and 3.1×10-11 cm-2s-1, respectively. © 1990 The American Physical Society
