New Effects Observed in Central Production by the Wa102 Experiment at the Cern Omega Spectrometer

چکیده
There is considerable current interest in trying to isolate the lightest glueball. Several experiments have been performed using glue-rich production mechanisms. One such mechanism is Double Pomeron Exchange (DPE) where the Pomeron is thought to be a multi-gluonic object. Consequently it has been anticipated that production of glueballs may be especially favoured in this process . The Omega central production experiments (WA76, WA91 and WA102) are designed to study exclusive final states formed in the reaction

New effects observed in central production by experiment WA102 at the CERN Omega Spectrometer
A partial wave analysis of the centrally produced KK and ππ systems shows that the fJ(1710) has J = 0. In addition, a study of central meson production as a function of the difference in transverse momentum (dPT ) of the exchanged particles shows that undisputed qq mesons are suppressed at small dPT whereas the glueball candidates are enhanced and that the production cross section for different...

متن کاملM ar 1 99 8 A search for non - qq mesons at the CERN Omega Spectrometer
The non-Abelian nature of QCD suggests that particles that have a gluon constituent, such as glueballs or hybrids, should exist. Experiments WA76, WA91 and WA102 have performed a dedicated search for these states in central production using the CERN Omega Spectrometer. Several non-qq candidates have been observed. This paper presents a study of central meson production as a function of the diff...
متن کاملResonance production in central pp collisions at the CERN Omega Spectrometer
A study of resonance production in central pp collisions is presented as a function of several kinematical variables. In particular the difference in the transverse momentum (dP T) of the exchanged particles shows that undisputed q ¯ q mesons are suppressed at small dP T whereas glueball candidates are enhanced and in addition, the azimuthal angle φ gives information on the nature of the Pomero...
