~tract

In the course of a systematic study of K+p interactions at 3.0 GeV/c, the

elastic scattering reaction ho.s been investigated. A total of 1720 events were

identified as elastic scatters, giving a cross-section of (4.8 ± .4) mb. The

angular distribution shows characteristic diffraction peaking and was fitted

a= 4.55 ± 0.39 (GeV/c)-2 and ~ = 0.64 ± 0.42 (GeV/c)-4.

The best fit gave

The extrapolated

experimental cross-section at o0, (dcr/dt) 0 , is found to 2

be (19.5 ± 2.3) mb/(GeV/c),

o.nd exceeds the optical theorem prediction by (3.8 ± 2.3) mb/(GeV/c) 2,

implying that there is a contribution from the real part of the K+p scattering

amplitude at 3.0 GeV/c.

Introc1uct:!,9n

The elastic scattering of K+ mesons on protons has been studied up to

2.0 GeV/c using emulsion, bubble chamber and counter techniques. From the data

of Cook et al .. (l), and later Chinowsky et al. ( 2 ) ,it appears that at 1.97 GeV/c

the distribution of the centre of mass scattering angle of the K+ is strongly

peaked in the forwo.rd direction. The same effect w2s found by J!'oley et al. (3)

in the region 7 - 15 GeV/c. No results have been published between 2 - 7 GeV/c.

the chamber window ond the scattering plane (for small scattering angles it is

essentially the angle between the recoil proton and the window). The distribution

of "A is shown in Fig. 3 for o.11 ident:.:.fied events with cos Q ~ 0.98. It appears

to be compatible with isotropy in the region o0 -- 60°. We made a general cut-off

in "A at 80° because the configuration of the track for events with "A ~80° makes

the geometrico.l reconstruction more difficult and less o.ccurate. The fall-off

in the region 60°~/I. ~ 80° is found to result from events emitted ~t small

scattering angle, and thus for 0. 95 ~ cos Q ~ O. 98, a cut-off was set at the

value A = 60°.

Results and Discussion

(a) Cross-sectio~

+ The K p total elastic cross-section, 0el' has been determined from the number

of elastic events, corrected for scanning efficiency and for the A and cos Q

cut-off's, and from the number of -C-decays occurri:ne:,· in the fiducial volume

considered in this experiment. Using the following values

(l.229 ± 0.008) x 10-8 sec. for the K+ lifetime( 6),

(0.055 ± 0.001) for the branching ratio for K+ decay into three charged

pions( 6),

0.062 g/cm3 for the density of liquid hydrogen in the bubble chamber

the elastic cross-section has been found to be

ael = (4.8 ± 0.4) mb.

A summary of the dependence of the elastic cross-section(l),( 2),(3),(7) versiIB

the incident K+ momentum is shown in J:Pig. 4, together with the K+p total cross-

t . ( 2) ' ( 7) ' ( 8)' ( 11) sec ion • It may bo expected from the rapid increase of the in-

elastic cross-section at about 2 GeV/c (i.e. shown by the difforence between total

and elastic cross-sections in Fit;. 4), thnt the elastic differential cross-section

should begin to show diffraction type behaviour above this onorgy. The present

results do in fact demonstr::cte this tron.d.

(b) Differential Cross~sectio~

The experimental angular distribution corrected for the imposed angular cut­

offs, is represented as a function of cos Q or -t (momentum transfer squared) on

Recently, Simmons(l2 ) ho.s attempted to fit the n±p elastic scattering do.ta

at 2. 0 Ge V / c, assuming a model in which cell pnrti2l waves with nngular momentum,

i,, less than o. cut-off, L, are equally nbsorbod cmd trot all other waves do not

interact. This dtempt was justified in view of tho appearance of n secondary ±

diffraction reek in the n p sco,ttering d;:J,ta. Here no such secondary peoli: is

present (Fig. 4) but it is still of interest to ·interpret our resul is in terms of

this model due to its success in explaining n±p (l3),(l4 ) and ICp (l4 ) scattering

in our energy region.
