Abstract

Based on a sample of about 3500 events, we have measured the total and differential cross sections of the 700–760 MeV/c incident momentum region. It is found that σCE = 10.7 ± 0.2 mb at the average momentum of 730 MeV/c. The differential angular distribution is characterised by a sharp peak and a dip in the forward direction followed by a secondary maximum. The position of the dip corresponds to |t| ≈ m π 2). These results are compared with the predictions of the model of Bryan-Phillips. On the other hand, this dip-bump structure can be well understood on a simple picture involving a π exchange and a constant background (for |t| ≲ 3 m π 2).
