An observation of the $f_0(1710)$ meson in the $ωϕ$ system in the Pion-$Be$ Interaction at Momentum of 29 GeV

The charge-exchange reaction $π^-p \rightarrow n\,ω(783)ϕ(1020)$, $ω\rightarrow π^+π^-π^0$, $ϕ\rightarrow K^+K^-$ is studied with the upgraded VES facility (U-70, Protvino) in the interaction of a 29 GeV pion beam with a beryllium target. The distribution over the invariant mass of the system $M_{ωϕ}$ shows a near-threshold signal. A partial wave analysis reveals that the scalar state ($J^{PC}=0^{++}$) dominates in this mass region. The observed signal can be described with a contribution of the known resonance $f_0(1710)$. Using OPE approximation for the reaction $π^-p \rightarrow n\, f_0(1710)$ the product of branching fractions is found to be: $Br(f_0(1710)\rightarrow ππ)\cdot Br(f_0(1710)\rightarrow ωϕ) = (4.8 \pm 1.2) \cdot 10^{-3}$.

A search for J^{PC}=1^{-+} exotic mesons in the pi- pi- pi+ and pi- pi0 pi0 systems

A partial wave analysis (PWA) of the pi-pi-pi+ and pi-pi0pi0 systems produced in the reaction pi- p -> (3pi)-p at 18 GeV/c was carried out using an isobar model assumption. This analysis is based on 3.0M pi-pi0pi0 events and 2.6M pi-pi-pi+ events and shows production of the a2(1320), pi2(1670) and π(1800) mesons. An earlier analysis of 250K pi-pi-pi+ events from the same experiment showed possible evidence for a J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ exotic meson with a mass of 1.6 GeV/c^2 decaying into rho pi. In this analysis of a higher statistics sample of the (3pi)- system in two charged modes we find no evidence of an exotic meson.

A Study of the ηπ^{0} Spectrum and Search for a J^{PC} = 1^{-+} Exotic Meson

A partial wave analysis (PWA) of the of the $ηπ^0$ system (where $η\to γγ$) produced in the charge exchange reaction $π^-p\to ηπ^0n$ at an incident momentum of 18 GeV$/c$ is presented as a function of ${ηπ^0}$ invariant mass, $m_{ηπ^0}$, and momentum transfer squared, $t_{π^{-}\toηπ}$, from the incident $π^-$ to the outgoing ${ηπ^0}$ system. $S$, $P$ and $D$ waves were included in the PWA. The $a_0(980)$ and $a_2(1320)$ states are clearly observed in the overall ${ηπ^0}$ effective mass distribution as well as in the amplitudes associated with $S$ wave and $D$ waves respectively after partial wave decomposition. The observed distributions in moments (averages of spherical harmonics) were compared to the results from the PWA and the two are consistent. The distribution in $t_{π^{-}\toηπ}$ for individual $D$ waves associated with natural and unnatural parity exchange in the $t$-channel are consistent with Regge phenomenology. Of particular interest in this study is the $P$ wave since this leads to an exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ for the $ηπ$ system. A $P$ wave is present in the data, however attempts to describe the mass dependence of the amplitude and phase motion with respect to the $D$ wave as a Breit-Wigner resonance are problematic. This has implications regarding the existence of a reported exotic $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}$ meson decaying into $ηπ^0$ with a mass near 1.4 GeV$/c^2$.

Study of eta pi- production by pions in the Coulomb field

The production of eta pi - system at low mass by the pi- beam in the Coulomb field of Be nuclei was studied. The cross section of the reaction pi- Be --> eta pi- Be was compared to the experimental data on the decay eta --> pi+ pi- gamma and to the theoretical predictions.
