Taking into Account the Centre-of-Mass Correlations in the Cross Sections for Elastic Scattering of Intermediate Energy Protons on the Exotic Nuclei $^6$He and $^8$He

We calculate the differential cross sections for proton elastic scattering on the exotic halo nuclei $^6$He and $^8$He at energies around $\sim$0.7 GeV at the momentum transfers squared up to 0.30 (GeV/$c$)$^2$ and investigate the influence of the nucleon centre-of-mass correlations on the calculated cross sections. In particular, we show that the approximate account of the centre-of-mass correlations used previously considerably overestimates the cross sections at high values of the momentum transfer.

Study of the proton-proton collisions at 1683 MeV/c

The new data on the elastic $pp$ and single pion production reaction $pp\to pn π^{+}$ taken at the incident proton momentum 1683 MeV/c are presented. The data on the $pp\to pn π^{+}$ reaction are compared with predictions from the OPE model. To extract contributions of the leading partial waves the single pion production data are analyzed in the framework of the event-by-event maximum likelihood method together with the data measured earlier. The analysis allows us to obtain the assessment with a better precision the contributions from different initial partial waves.

Sensitivity of reaction cross sections to halo nucleus density distributions

In order to clear up the sensitivity of the nucleus--nucleus reaction cross sections $σ_R$ to the nuclear matter distributions in exotic halo nuclei, we have calculated the values of $σ_R$ for scattering of $^6$He, $^{11}$Li, and $^{19}$C nuclei on several nuclear targets at the energy of 0.8 GeV/nucleon. The calculations were performed in the "rigid target" approximation to the Glauber theory, different shapes of the nuclear density distributions in $^6$He, $^{11}$Li, and $^{19}$C being assumed.

Light 2++ and 0++ mesons

The status of light I=0, J^{PC}=2^{++} and 0^{++} mesons is discussed, particularly the separation of n-nbar and s-sbar states. They fall into a simple scheme except for f_2(1810). A case is made that this has been confused with the f_0(1790). It should be possible to check this with existing or forthcoming data.

Partial wave analysis of pbar-p annihilation channels in flight with I=1, C=+1

A combined analysis is reported of 3pizero, pizero-eta and pizero-etaprime data in the mass range 1960 to 2410 MeV. This analysis is made consistent also with eta-eta-pizero data, reported separately. The analysis requires s-channel resonances with a spectrum close to that published earlier for C = +1 states with I = 0; masses for I=1 states are lower on average by 20 MeV. Two alternative solutions are found, differing only for J^P = 2^+ and 4^+ states by small amounts in masses and widths. Both 3pizero and eta-pizero data prefer one of these two solutions. For this preferred solution, observed states have J^PC, masses and widths (M,Gamma) in MeV as follows: 4^-+: (2250+-15, 215+-25), 4^++: (2255+-40, 330 ^{+110}_{-50}) and (2005 ^{+25}_{-45}, 180+-30), 3^++: (2275+-35, 350 ^{+100}_{-50}) and (2031+-12, 150 \pm 18), 2^-+: (2245+-60, 320 ^{+100}_{-40}) and (2005+-15, 200+-40, 2^++: (2255+-20, 230+-15), (2175+-40, 310^{+90}_{-45}) and (2030+-20, 205+-30), and 1^++: (2270 ^{+55}_{-40}, 305 ^{+70}_{-35}). There are indications of further 2^-+, 2^++ and 1^++ contributions just below the available mass range, and also a 0^++ state at ~2025 MeV.

A partial wave analysis of pbar-p -> eta-eta-pizero

A partial wave analysis of pbar-p -> eta-eta-pizero data from the Crystal Barrel experiment is made in terms of s-channel resonances. The decay channels a_0(980)-eta, f_0(1770)-pi and f_0(2105)-pi provide evidence for two I = 1 J^{PC} = 0^{-+} resonances. The first has mass M =2360 +- 25 MeV and width Gamma = 300^{+100}_{-50} MeV, and the second M =2070 \pm 35 MeV, Gamma = 310^{+100}_{-50} MeV. There is also evidence for a J^{PC} = 2^{-+} state with M = 2005 +- 15 MeV and Gamma = 200 +- 40 MeV, decaying strongly to a_0(980)-pi.

Study of pbar-p -> eta-eta-pizero-pizero in flight

An analysis of data on pbar-p -> eta-eta-pizero-pizero is presented at pbar beam momenta 600 to 1940 MeV/c. There is evidence for an I = 1, J^PC = 2^-+ resonance in eta-eta-pizero with mass M = 1880 +- 20 MeV and width 255 +- 45 MeV, decaying strongly a2(1320)-eta; it is too strong to be explained as the high mass tail of π_2(1670) -> a2(1320)-eta. There is tentative evidence also for weak decays to f_0(1500)π. It makes a natural partner to the eta 2(1860).

I=0, C=-1 mesons from 1940 to 2410 MeV

New Crystal Barrel data are reported for pbar-p -> omega-eta and pbar-p -> omega-pizero-pizero with omega decaying to piplus-piminus-pizero. The omega-eta data confirm angular distributions obtained earlier from data where omega -> pizero-gamma. The new omega-eta data provide accurate measurements of vector and tensor polarisations of the omega and lead to considerable improvements in masses and widths of s-channel resonances. A new J^PC = 3^+- I = 0 resonance is observed with mass M = 2025+-20 MeV and width Gamma = 145+-30 MeV. Polarisation is close to zero everywhere and tensor polarisations are large, as is the case also for pbar-p -> omega-pizero.

Combined analysis of meson channels with I=1, C = -1 from 1940 to 2410 MeV

New Crystal Barrel data are reported for pbar-p -> omega-pizero and pbar-p -> omega eta-pizero with omega decaying to piplus-piminus-pizero. The shapes of angular distributions agree well with those for data where omega -> pizero-gamma; this is a valuable cross-check on systematic errors. The new data provide good measurements of vector and tensor polarisations P_y, T20, T21 and T22 of the omega. These lead to significant improvements in parameters of several resonances reported earlier. New values of masses and widths (in Mev) are: J^PC = 5^-- (2300+-45, 260+-75), J^PC = 3^-- (2260+-20, 160+-25), J^PC = 1^+- (2240+-35, 320+-85), and J^PC = 1^-- (2110+-35, 230+-50). A remarkable feature of the data is that vector polarisation P_y is close to zero everywhere. It follows that all interfering amplitudes have relative phases close to 0 or 180 deg. Tensor polarisations are large.

Resonances formed by pbar-p and decaying into pizero-pizero-eta for masses 1960 to 2410 MeV

Data on pbar-b annihilation in flight into pizero-pizero-eta are presented for nine beam momenta 600 to 1940 MeV/c. The strongest four intermediate states are found to be f_2(1270)-eta, a_2(1320)-pi, sigma-eta and a_0(980)-pi. Partial wave analysis is performed mainly to look for resonances formed by pbar-p and decaying into pizero-pizero-eta through these intermediate states. There is evidence for the following s-channel I = 0 resonances : two 4^{++} resonances with mass and width (M,Gamma) at (2044, 208) MeV and (2320+-30, 220+-30) MeV; three 2^{++} resonances at (2020+-50, 200+-70) MeV, (2240+-40, 170+-50) MeV and (2370+-50, 320+-50) MeV; two 3^{++} resonances at (2000+-40, 250+-40) MeV and (2280+-30, 210+-30) MeV; a 1^{++} resonance at (2340+-40, 340+-40) MeV; and two 2^{-+} resonances at (2040+-40, 190+-40) MeV and (2300+-40, 270+-40) MeV.

Partial wave analysiss of pbar-p -> piminus-piplus, pizero-pizero, eta-eta and eta-etaprime

A partial wave analysis is presented of Crystal Barrel data on pbar-p -> pizero-pizero, eta-eta and eta-etaprime from 600 to 1940 MeV/c, combined with earlier data on dσ/dΩand P for pbar-p->piminus-piplus. The following s-channel I=0 resonances are identified: (i) J^{PC} = 5^{--} with mass and width (M,Γ) at (2295+-30,235^{+65}_{-40}) MeV, (ii) J^{PC} = 4^{++} at (2020+-12, 170+-15) MeV and (2300+-25, 270+-50) MeV, (iii) 3D3 JPC = 3^{--} at (1960+-15, 150+-25) MeV and (2210+-4$, 360+-55) MeV, and a 3G3 state at (2300 ^{+50}_{-80}, 340+-150) MeV, (iv) JPC = 2^{++} at (1910+-30, 260+-40) MeV, (2020+-30, 275+-35) MeV, (2230+-30, 245+-45) MeV, and (2300+-35, 290+-50) MeV, (v) JPC = 1^{--} at (2005+-40, 275+-75) MeV, and (2165+-40, 160 ^{+140}_{-70}) MeV, and (vi) JPC = 0^{++} at (2005+-30, 305+-50) MeV, (2105+-15, 200+-25) MeV, and (2320+-30, 175+-45) MeV. In addition, there is a less well defined 6^{++} resonance at 2485+-40 MeV, with Gamma = 410+-90 MeV. For every JP, almost all these resonances lie on well defined linear trajectories of mass squared v. excitation number. The slope is 1.10+-0.03 Gev^2 per excitation. The f_0(2105) has strong coupling to eta-η, but much weaker coupling to pizero-pizero. Its flavour mixing angle between q-qbar and s-sbar is (59-71.6)deg, i.e. dominant decays to s-sbar. Such decays and its strong production in pbar-p interactions strongly suggest exotic character.

The study of the proton-proton collisions at the beam momentum 1628 MeV/c

The detailed investigation of the single pion production reactions $pp\to pnπ^{+}$ and $pp\to ppπ^{o}$ at the incident proton momentum 1628 MeV/c has been carried out. The data are analyzed in the framework of the event-by-event maximum likelihood method together with the $pp\to ppπ^{0}$ data measured earlier in the energy region below 1 GeV. At 1628 MeV/c the largest contributions stem from the $^{3}P_{2}$, $^{3}P_{1}$, $^{3}P_{0}$, $^{1}D_{2}$ and $^{3}F_{2}$ initial partial waves.

I = 0 C = +1 mesons from 1920 to 2410 MeV

A combined fit is presented to data on pbar-p annihilation in flight to final states eta-pizero-pizero, pizero-pizero, eta-eta, eta-etaprime and piminus-piplus. The emphasis lies in improving an earlier study of eta-pizero-pizero by fitting data at nine pbar momenta simultaneously and with parameters consistent with the two-body channels. There is evidence for all of the I=0, C=+ q-qbar states expected in this mass range. New resonances are reported with masses and widths M,Gamma as follows: JPC = 4^{-+} (2328+-38, Gamma=240+-90) MeV, 1^{++} (1971+-15, 240+-45) MeV, 0^{-+} (2285+-20, 325+-30) MeV, and 0^{-+} (2010 ^{+35}_{-60}, 270+-60) MeV. Errors on the masses and widths of other resonances are also reduced substantially. All states lie close to parallel straight line trajectories of excitation number v. mass squared.

The study of the negative pion production in neutron-proton collisions at beam momenta below 1.8 GeV/c

A detailed investigation of the reaction np -> ppπ^{-} has been carried out using the data obtained with the continuous neutron beam produced by charge exchange scattering of protons off a deuterium target. A partial wave event-by-event based maximum likelihood analysis was applied to determine contributions of different partial waves to the pion production process. The combined analysis of the np -> ppπ^{-} and pp -> ppπ^{0} data measured in the same energy region allows us to determine the contribution of isoscalar partial waves (I=0) in the momentum range from 1.1 up to 1.8 GeV/c. The decay of isoscalar partial waves into (^1S_0)_{pp}π$ channel provides a good tool for a determination of the pp S-wave scalar scattering length in the final state which was found to be a_{pp}=-7.5\pm 0.3 fm.
