Abstract

Assuming predominance of elastic and quasi-elastic isobar production processes in high energy nucleon-nucleon collisions, N + N → N + N, N + N ∗, N ∗ + N ∗ , and using experimental information on the elastic scattering as the input, differential cross sections of the isobar production are worked out on the basis of unitarity and time reversal invariance together with certain simplifying kinematical assumptions. The isobars will be, on the average, more collimated than the elastically scattered nucleons; their angular distribution will possibly show a very sharp peak followed by a rather flat tail.
