Observation of the π+π- decay of the ρ'(1600) in γ-proton interactions at 19 GeV
Abstract
The SLAC Hybrid Facility Photon Collaboration has undertaken a study of vector mesons produced in 19 GeV γ-proton collisions. A major goal of this research is to search for radial excitations of ρ, ω, and φ mesons. This report presents evidence for a radial excitation of the ρ(770) produced diffractively in the reaction γp-≳pρ' and decaying via ρ'-≳π+π-.
