Elastic scattering is a subject on which a great deal of work has been done in the past, but the experiments reported to this conference again give new results of great interest and it is very probable that in the future further experiments will still yield important results. In general elastic scattering is best studied in counter experiments, but in K+p and K-p scattering 2000 · some of the best results are from bubble chamber experiments.

On a simple Regge Pole theory Arnold [26]; that is the two trajectories, /la and Ay are such one would expect a decrease towards u= + 0.2 GeV2 due to a that the dips are exactly cancelled. The curves on Fig. 21 are nonsense value of the /Ju trajectory and also a dip near -0.7 calculations by Pretzl and Jgi [27] using the Veneziano model 2 GeV caused by a nonsense value of the /JY trajectory (see (with exchange degeneracy) and give satisfactory fits to the Fig. 22). It is now considered that this is evidence in favour data.

The value 4 for the exponent n in equ. (3) for K '"]J scattering is similar to that found [5] for other two-body reactions requiring baryon exchange. However, the exponent n= 10 observed for K · p backward scattering is exceptionally high and can be considered the best example of 500 "nothing" exchange, i.e. of a two-body reaction in whicl1 no one single particle can be exchanged. Very few other examples 200 . of "nothing" exchange are known-they are mainly near (~~lv.o threshold and have exponents "" 6. 100 ~ Michael [3 l] has calculated the energy variation of da/du (GeV/c) 2 liQ at u= 0 for K·p scattering assuming that two particles are exchanged. The results of his calculation are shown in Fig. 25. It may be seen that the fall-off is much more gentle than is 211 observed at lower energies. The exact value of the exponent to be expected from double Regge particle exchange is dif­ 10 ficult to calculate but should be about 4 to 6. Experimentally it will be difficult to test Michael's prediction until greatly imp­ roved statistics are available.

It is interesting to note that the phase space distribu­ tion is almost uniform over the triangle. The Aachen-Berlin-CERN-London-Vienna Collaboration [81] have applied the triangular t-plot to the reactions K-p--+ K -pw (21) K-p--+ K-p (22) They find in general that at high energy the points are distrib­ uted near the boundary of the plot because of the multi­ peripheral nature of reactions. For the particular cases of these two reactions, the experimental points are found to be limited to certain regions of the boundary. It is possible to draw Feynmann diagrams for different regions of the boundary to illustrate the corresponding type of reaction and this is done in Fig. 51 where the results for 10 GeV /care plotted.

EXPERIMENT 1. First results from the Serpukhov accelerator show that the total J(- p cross section is almost constant, which is in dis­ agreement with extrapolated predictions based on the Regge Pole model. 2. In elastic scattering, a second maximum occurs in n+p, 10 a) n-p, pp and K-p reactions, but does not occur in pp, pn or K+p scattering: A number of theories offer explanations of these results. 3. Jn K-p elastic scattering, dips are observed near t= -0.85 2 2 GeV and u= -0.3 GeV • The first cannot be explained in terms of "nonsense" values of a trajectory, but might be deriv­ able using the Veneziano model. The second may be due to the systematics of direct Y* resonances formation. 4. There are many experiments on polarisation in elastic N 0 ~ scattering. (!) 5.

Lipkin: I want to make a comment on the quark model. Perhaps in the Aclmowledgements spirit of this talk I should mention that there is a "Global quarkology" and "Local quarkology".

However, the local quarkology says that you take the quark-antiquark amplitude and use it to explain only the Discussion imaginary part of the amplitude.
