New data on $K^{-}p \rightarrow K^{-}p $and $\overline{K}^{0}n$ and a partial wave analysis between 1840 and 2234 MeV center of mass energy

The angular distributions of the reactions K/sup -/p to K/sup -/p and K/sup -/p to K/sup 0/n have been measured at 23 incident K/sup -/ momenta between 1.136 and 1.798 GeV/c using the bubble chamber technique. These data, together with other published data on the same reactions, including K/sup -/p polarisations, KN total cross sections and measurements of Re f(0)/Im f(0), have been analysed in terms of partial-wave amplitudes. Resonance behaviour is confirmed for the P /sub 03/ partial wave at 1890 MeV. The resonance parameters of the F /sub 15/(1915), F/sub 17/(2030) and G/sub 07/(2100) have been redetermined. No evidence has been found for new resonances coupling significantly to KN in the energy region explored. (24 refs).
