Backward resonance production in. pi. /sup -/p. -->. n. pi. /sup +/. pi. /sup -/ at 8 GeV/c

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
We have studied backward meson and baryon production in ..pi../sup -/p ..-->.. n..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/ at 8 GeV/c using a streamer chamber triggered by the detection of the interaction of theneutron in thick-plate optical spark chambers. Our data sample of 866 events is dominated by the quasi-two-body final states ..delta../sup -/(1232) ..pi../sup +/, nrho/sup 0/, and nf/sup 0/. We study the differential and total backward cross sections for these states and the decay angular distributions of the resonances. The results for the ..delta../sup -/ and rho/sup 0/ indicate that both nucleon and ..delta.. exchange inthe u channel are important in their production, while f/sup 0/ production is, as expected, consistent with nucleon exchange.
