Investigations on the nucleon-nucleon interaction at medium energies are reported. A major program to extract the experimental scattering amplitudes from the NN data over the 0 to 850 MeV energy range was begun. Special subprograms were set up to handle the large amount of data involved, and to estimate the total reaction cross sections. A program to project out partial-wave amplitudes of a tree-graph model for NN ..-->.. NN..pi.., in order to supplement the data in the higher angular momentum states, was completed. Work was also carried out on the three-body problem, particularly ..pi..-deuteron scattering, and on setting up an appropriate formalism for the two-to-three particle process NN ..-->.. NN..pi... In strong-interaction-related work, the pion-nucleon sigma term was investigated, and the dual-model prediction for factorizable three-hadron form factors was confirmed. Finally, a study of isospin as a dynamical operator in an extended space was continued. Individual summaries in this report are of only abstract length with no data. References are given.
