Experimental medium-energy physics. Annual progress report, June 1982-May 1983
During the past year the principal activities of the C-MU Medium Energy Physics Group have included running of previously approved experiments, the development of hardware and software for new experiments, continued analysis of previously accumulated data, and the development of model calculations to be compared with these data. Major data runs have taken place on two hypernuclear experiments (AGS 759 and 760) at the AGS, and testing and running will soon begin at CERN/LEAR for our antiproton work (LEAR PS-185). For these experiments extensive hardware and software development has taken place, requiring much of the group's effort. This activity is described in detail. In our ongoing studies of the pion annihilation mechanism, the emphasis has shifted from two-body processes to those involving three-body final states. A large effort is being devoted to the analysis of our (..pi..,pp), (..pi..,pd) and pionic fission data accumulated at LAMPF on targets of /sup 6/ /sup 7/Li, /sup 14/N, /sup 16/O and CD/sub 2/. During the past year we have also completed analysis of 800 MeV/c ..pi.. scattering data from C and Ca nuclei, an experiment done simultaneously with our earlier kaon scattering measurement. In addition, considerable effort has been devoted to development of model calculations for the (..pi..,2p) and anti pp ..-->.. anti ..lambda.. ..lambda.. reactions; these are described.
