pi. /sup -/p. --> omega. n reaction at momenta from 15 to 40 GeV/c
Cross sections for the reaction ..pi../sup -/p..--> omega..n, ..omega --> pi../sup 0/..gamma.. have been measured with good statistics at incident-pion momenta of 15, 20, 25, 30, and 40 GeV/c. The experiments were performed at the 70-GeV IHEP accelerator, using the NICE 648-channel hodoscopic spectrometer. The density matrix elements and the differential and integrated cross sections for the reaction have been determined. The unnatural-parity exchange contribution to the production of ..omega.. mesons in the state with helicity 1 is already insignificant at 15 GeV/c. With increasing Vertical BartVertical Bar the differential cross sections pass through a maximum at Vertical BartVertical Barapprox. =0.12 (GeV/c)/sup 2/ and then fall exponentially until Vertical BartVertical Barapprox. =0.7 (GeV/c)/sup 2/; at that point the curve bends sharply, the cross section falling off much less rapidly for larger values of Vertical BartVertical Bar.
