چکیده
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. Invited talk at Hadron 97, August 1997

M 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...

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 کاملNew Effects Observed in Central Production by the Wa102 Experiment at the Cern Omega Spectrometer
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 cen...

A partial wave analysis of the centrally produced KK and ππ systems shows that the f J (1710) has J = 0. In addition, a study of central meson production as a function of the difference in transverse momentum (dP T) of the exchanged particles shows that undisputed qq mesons are suppressed at small dP T whereas the glueball candidates are enhanced and that the production cross section for differ...
