Exclusive reactions in π+p interactions at 32 GeV/c

We have measured the cross sections for the reactions π+p→2π+π-p, π+K+K-p, π+pp-barp, 3π+2π-p, 2π+π-K+K-p, 2π+π-pp-barp, 4π+3π-p, and 5π+4π-p at 32 GeV/c, the cross sections for their individual channels π+p→rho0π+p, f0π+p, Δ++π+π-, rho0Δ++, f0Δ++, rho02π+π-p, and Δ++2π+2π-, and the cross sections for diffraction processes in the reactions π+p→2π+π-p, π+K+K-p, and 3π+2π-p. The energy dependences and factorization properties of the cross sections are discussed
