Part one: The reaction K-d -> K°nm, from threshold to 300 Mev/c; Part two: K+p elastic scattering: 80-280 Mev/c

The cross section for the reaction K-D -> Knm The cross section for the reaction X D .. ~K n n has been measured for the laboratory momentum interval from threshold (96.7) to 300 Mev/c. The cross section is found to rise quickly above threshold to around 6 mb at 150 MeV/c, then decrease slowly from 150 to 300 MeV/c. The experimental values are found to be consistently lower (about 20%) than the recent values calculated by Hetherington and Schick using Faddeev techniques. PART TWO An experiment has been performed using the Berkeley 15 inch Hydrogen bubble chamber to measure the low energy K+ p elastic scattering cross section. Although the differential cross section is generally lower than those obtained by StUbbS,,!! the experiments are consistent to within the quoted experimental errors. has been measured for the laboratory momentum interval from threshold (96.7) to 300 Mev/c.
