Spin transfer in hyperon production.
The polarization transfer coefficient DNN provides a sensitive test of present quark recombination models of hyperon production. In this paper we present preliminary results from a recent measurement of DNN in the reaction p↘Be → Λ↘X at the Brookhaven AGS using the newly available polarized proton beam at incident momenta of 13 and 18 GeV/c.

Measurement of the dijet cross section in 400-GeV pp collisions
The invariant cross section for production of jet pairs in 400-GeV/c pp interactions has been measured as a function of p{tau} in the p{tau} range 4 to 9 GeV/c. The results are in good agreement with predictions of perturbative QCD models. 20 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.

Experimental information on the pion gluon distribution function
An experiment performed at Fermilab used double-arm calorimeter triggers to study di-jet production by 400 GeV protons and 200 GeVπ− mesons incident on liquid hydrogen. The observed ratio of positive to negative leading particles in the jets was compared forpp andπp production using a tree level parton scattering model. The results are moderately sensitive to the form of the pion gluon distribution function and yieldx g(x)⋍(1−x)2.75±0.40±0.75.

Modular TPCs for relativistic heavy-ion experiments☆
Abstract A description is given of a TPC system that operates in a relativistic heavy-ion beam and yields good track reconstruction efficiency in very-high-multiplicity events. The mechanical construction of the chamber is discussed. A set of custom hybrid circuits are used to build a very compact, cost-effective electronics system mounted directly on the chamber. Results from running in test beams and from preliminary experimental runs are given.

Triggering on high-transverse-momentum jets
We compare the characteristics of events selected by ''global'' and ''two-high'' triggers in large-transverse-energy hadron-hadron collisions. Using a QCD-based Monte Carlo model of Fox and collaborators, we find that the former is effectively a high-multiplicity trigger, the latter a high-planarity trigger favoring unusually clean jet events. Predictions of the model for both triggers are in good qualitative agreement with recent data.
