Reactionπ−p→ωnat Momenta from 20 to 200 GeV/c

Abstract

The reaction ${\pi }^{-}p\to \omega n$ in the beam-momentum range from 20 to 200 GeV/c has been studied using data acquired at Fermilab. In this Letter, the integral and differential cross sections for this reaction are presented. The integral cross sections are considerably larger than those previously reported. The differential cross sections can be reproduced quite easily by Regge models. As predicted by such models, natural-parity exchange dominates production throughout this energy region.
