Study of the pi0 pi0 -system with the GAMS-4000 spectrometer at 100 GeV/c
Protvino, 1998.- p.24, figs. 11, refs.:25.


The pi0 pi0 -system produced in the charge exchange pi- p -reaction at 100 GeV/c has been studied. The experiment was performed at the CERN SPS accelerator with the multiphoton hodoscope spectrometer GAMS-4000. A partial wave analysis was carried out in the mass range from 0.8 GeV to 3.0 GeV at -t < 0.2 (GeV/c)**2 with the S, D, G and J waves. The S -wave exhibited rather complicated behaviour with a series of four bumps separated by three dips, at 1 GeV, 1.5 GeV and 2 GeV, which give the evidence for several scalar resonances. Clear peaks corresponding to the f_2(1270), f_4(2050) and f_6(2510) mesons were seen in the higher waves. All the three mesons were produced via a dominating one pion t -channel exchange. The parameters and production cross sections of these mesons were measured.
