Description: The status of our programmatic study of states containing a strange quark is briefly reviewed. An 11 GeV/c K/sup -/p experiment run on the LASS spectrometer at SLAC is discussed and preliminary results presented for several inelastic channels based on approximately one half of the available data sample. In addition, new results utilizing the full statistics of the experiment are presented for the elastic K/sup -/..pi../sup +/ channel from the K/sup -/..pi../sup +/n final state.

Relativistic heavy ions physics

Description: Central nuclear collisions at energies far above 1 GeV/nucleon may provide for conditions, where the transition from highly excited hadronic matter into quark matter or quark-gluon plasma can be probed. We review current ideas about the nature of, and signals for, this transition, and we discuss the (hadronic) string model approach to the nuclear collisions dynamics. At even higher energies in the TeV/nucleon range peripheral nuclear collisions may become a laboratory for electroweak physics at… more

Delta, iota and other meson spectroscopies

Description: This talk is given from the point of view of an experimentalist. Meson spectroscopy in the 1 to 3 GeV region is interesting because experiments exploring this region, in particular radiative psi decay, have found a rich structure of resonances too complicated to unravel with any one experiment, and not easily interpreted with any one theoretical model. None of the theoretical calculations predicting all kinds of interesting and exotic objects in this region is very convincing or reliable. Addit… more

The multistring model VENUS for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions

Description: The event generator VENUS is based on a multistring model for heavy ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. The model is a straightforward extension of a successful model for soft proton-proton scattering, the latter one being consistent with e/sup )plus/)e/sup )minus/) annihilation and deep inelastic lepton scattering. Comparisons of VENUS results with pA and recent AA data alow some statements about intranuclear cascading. 18 refs., 7 figs

Jet physics at PEP and PETRA

Description: Recent data on the fragmentation of quarks at PEP and PETRA energies is discussed in the context of phenomenological models of parton fragmentation.

Inclusive electron scattering at high Q/sup 2/ in the region 1 < x < 3

Description: New inclusive electron scattering data at high Q/sup 2/ from nuclei taken in the x range unavailable to the free nucleon are presented. The ratios of cross section per nucleon, (4/56)d sigma/sup Fe//d sigma/sup He/, show a plateau for 1.3 < x < 2.0 which has been suggested as a signature of quark clusters in nuclei. The subtraction of the quasielastic cross section from the inclusive spectra reveals that the data scale in x at low momentum transfer. A proposal for a new experiment is discussed.… more

Searching for the Higgs in ep collisions at LEP/LHC

Description: We investigate the possibility to observe an intermediate mass Higgs in ep collisions at LEP/LHC. We find that such a particle can be observed once a reasonable level of flavor identification is available to separate efficiently the b{bar b} decay mode of the Higgs from most of the background. 18 refs., 11 figs., 7 tabs.

What is glue good for, or gluons come out of the closet. [Quark-parton model, quantum chromodynamics review]

Description: The possible role of gluons in hadronic processes as suggested by the quark-parton model and QCD is discussed and evaluated. Attention is focused on heavy (e.g., charmed) hadron production, large p/sub T/ hadronic physics, and massive lepton pair production at large p/sub T/. A discussion of more rigorous tests of QCD and the role of gluons in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation is also given. 55 references.

Statistical mechanics and field theory. [Path integrals, lattices, pseudofree vertex model]

Description: Field theory methods are applied to statistical mechanics. Statistical systems are related to fermionic-like field theories through a path integral representation. Considered are the Ising model, the free-fermion model, and close-packed dimer problems on various lattices. Graphical calculational techniques are developed. They are powerful and yield a simple procedure to compute the vacuum expectation value of an arbitrary product of Ising spin variables. From a field theorist's point of view, t… more

Gluonia. [Xi-2200 resonances]

Description: The postulated existence of hadrons with no quark content, implied by the non-Abelian nature of quantum chromodynamics, has been the object of much experimental activity. Recent data from radiative psi decay permit a confrontation of available evidence with the most simple-minded criteria for their appearance. In the absence of compellingly positive evidence we give a rating of the relative merits of several possible candidates. 36 references, 17 figures.

A new string model (VENUS 2) for hadronic collisions based on color exchange between quarks and antiquarks

Description: We describe the latest version of the string model VENUS, taking also into account antiquarks as participants in the color exchange (string flip) process, the basic mechanism to form strings. An important consequence is a rapidity plateau for protons and lambdas in symmetric heavy ion collision contradicting the assumption of transparency. 10 refs., 7 figs.

Narrow structures observed in the p-p analyzing power

Description: The momentum dependence of the p-p elastic analyzing power has been measured in small steps using an internal target during polarized beam acceleration from 1 to 3 GeV/c. The momentum bin size ranges from 5 to 18 MeV/c. The relative uncertainty of the analyzing power is typically less than 0.01 for each momentum bin. Narrow structures have been observed in the two-proton invariant mass distribution of the analyzing power. A brief discussion on the interpretation of the present results is also g… more

High-energy pion-nucleus scattering at LAMPF

Description: Recent data obtained for pion-nucleus interactions above the [triangle](1232) is presented. The expected long mean-free path at pion energies above the [3,3] resonance is demonstrated in elastic scattering.

Description: Anti-proton annihilation has a number of important advantages as a probe of QCD in the low energy domain. Exclusive reaction in which complete annihilation of the valance quarks occur. There are a number of exclusive and inclusive /bar p/ reactions in the intermediate momentum transfer domain which provide useful constraints on hadron wavefunctions or test novel features of QCD involving both perturbative and nonperturbative dynamics. Inclusive reactions involving antiprotons have the advantage… more
