Hadronic Production with a Drell-Yan Trigger
The ratio of cross sections for producing fast ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}'\mathrm{s}$ and ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}'\mathrm{s}$ in association with a massive dilepton should be a strongly varying function of the mass of the pair, reducing at small mass to its value in the absence of a pair. For $\frac{{{M}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\mu}}}^{2}}{s}g0.1$, the $\frac{{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}}{{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}}$ ratio should fall by a factor of 1.7 in the reactions $p+\overline{p}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}+({\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}})+X$ and $p+{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}+({\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}})+X$, rise by a factor of 2.6 in $p+{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}+({\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}})+X$, and fall by about 25% in $p+p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}+({\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}})+X$.

Structure of two-body correlations in high energy hadron production
Abstract Experimental information on diffraction is used to estimate long range effects in multiparticle production. Diffractively produced secondaries are found to produce a plateau in the central region. Diffraction accounts for 30% of the observed correlations and the remainder, consistent with being short range, corresponds to a cluster size of 2.4 charged particles.

BACKWARD-SCATTERING EXTRAPOLATIONS AND BARYON COUPLINGS.
Extrapolation of an asymptotic cross section to a baryon pole cannot uniquely determine the coupling constant. The only asymptotic quantities capable of doing this are the R and A parameters. The notorious discrepancy between extrapolation of dσ(πp)/du and the known Δ width is shown to be purely illusory.

alphaPDE: A New multivariate technique for parameter estimation
Abstract We present α → PDE, a new multivariate analysis technique for parameter estimation. The method is based on a direct construction of joint probability densities of known variables and the parameters to be estimated. We show how posterior densities and best-value estimates are then obtained for the parameters of interest by a straightforward manipulation of these densities. The method is essentially non-parametric and allows for an intuitive graphical interpretation. We illustrate the method by outlining how it can be used to estimate the mass of the top quark, and we explain how the method is applied to an ensemble of events containing background.

Measurement of proton-proton elastic scattering at 6 GeV/c in polarized initial and final spin states
The differential elastic $p\ensuremath{-}p$ scattering cross section was measured at 6 GeV/c at the Argonne Zero Gradient Synchrotron in the range $P_{\ensuremath{\perp}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}=0.60\ensuremath{-}1.0$ ${(\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathit{c})}^{2}$ using a 65% polarized target and a 75% polarized proton beam of intensity 3 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} ${10}^{9}$ protons/pulse. The polarization of the recoil proton was simultaneously measured with a well calibrated carbon-target polarimeter. All three polarizations were measured perpendicular to the horizontal scattering plane. Our results indicate that $P$ and $T$ invariance are both obeyed to good precision even at our largest $P_{\ensuremath{\perp}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}$. Parity invariance implies that the eight single-flip transversity cross sections are zero, so our data gives the magnitudes of the eight remaining pure spin cross sections where all spins are measured. We find that the four double-flip transversity cross sections are nonzero.

Some TPC measurements in an oxygen beam at the AGS
Abstract The principal detector for AGS Experiment 810 is a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) in which it is intended to measure momenta and angles of a major fraction of the charged particles from each light ion collision. This report describes the results of a test of a prototype of the TPC in a beam of (14.6 × 16 = 233.6 GeV c ) oxygen ions run in June of this year.

Measurement of the single-jet invariant cross section at Fermilab
Abstract In an experiment performed at Fermilab we have studied the production of high p t hadron jets from 400 GeV/ c pp interactions. A large solid-angle, towered calorimeter was used to trigger and reconstruct the jet events. We report results for inclusive single-jet production and compare those results with QCD predictions and results obtained at the ISR and the SPS Collider.
