The differential cross sections of $$\pi^+ , \pi^- , K^+ , K^- , p, \overline{p}$$ on p elastic scattering were measured at laboratory momenta of 100 and 200 GeV/c in the range of four momentum transfer squared 0.9 < -t < 11.0 (GeV/$c^2$) at 100 GeV/c and 0.4 < -t < 3.0 (GeV/$c)^2$ at 200 GeV/c The data obtained extend the knowledge of these cross sections to large momentum transfer. The primary emphasis of this experiment was to study the $$\pi^+$$ p reaction. This cross section falls six decades between -t = 0.9 and -t = 3. 8 (GeV/$c)^2$ At -t = 3. 8 (GeV/$c)^2$
