The research reported has centered on the nucleon-nucleon interaction at medium energies, with especial emphasis on the reaction NN ..-->.. NN..pi.. up to 800 MeV. Elastic NN scattering near the pion production threshold was also investigated, both through phase-shift analysis of data and theoretical interpretation of the intermediate-range force. The quasi-elastic amplitude N anti N ..-->.. ..pi pi.. for 4m/sub pi//sup 2/ less than or equal to t less than or equal to 50m/sub pi//sup 2/ was studied because of its bearing on the NN problem; a simple but useful model was developed. Finally, work on the pion-photoproduction reaction ..gamma..N ..-->.. ..pi delta.. was completed, and the close correspondence with the amplitude NN ..-->.. NN..pi.. exploited. A list of publications is included.
