Results based on an analysis of 25% of the pictures obtained from a measurement of the charge-exchange reaction π - p → n 0 n with thick-plate spark chambers are given. Differential and total cross sections for charge-exchange scattering were obtained at five momenta centred about the T = 1/2 resonance found at 2.07 GeV/ c in the π - p total cross section. In the vicinity of the resonance the total cross section is falling smoothly, and the higher coefficients of Legendre polynomial expansions show no significant variation with momentum. From this it is concluded that there is either a complicated interference of several states at the resonance or that the resonance is in a relatively high partial wave and is mainly inelastic.

The efficiency with which a positron beam is converted into an positronium beam, via charge exchange in molecular hydrogen and argon gases was investigated. At certain incident positron energies, molecular hydrogen was found to be over three times as efficient as argon for this purpose. The beam conversion efficiency was investigated with respect to both gas pressure and energy. Preliminary measurements for the total cross section of Ps scattering from molecular hydrogen are also presented.

We present a model of backward π+p, π−p, and π−p charge exchange scattering consistent with our earlier approach to forward π−p charge exchange and backward π+p. We consider two body differential cross section data which exhibits a dip–bump structure as well as nonzero polarization. This is explained in terms of a dominant Regge pole vanishing at the dip accompanied by a background. The background is primarily responsible for the large u behavior of the cross section which includes the rise after the dip. It is assumed that the presence of nonzero polarization dictates this behavior. We isolate the I = 3/2 amplitude in π−p backwards and determine the I = 1/2 amplitude from π+p backwards. A prediction for π−p → nπ0 follows.

The differential cross section for pion charge-exchange scattering from 12C is calculated using sum-rule techniques in order to investigate possible spin-dependent effects in proton–neutron correlations. The resulting cross section proves to be quite insensitive to such effects under the usual assumptions concerning the correlation function.
