A study of pseudoscalar states produced centrally in pp interactions at 450 GeV/c
A study has been made of pseudoscalar mesons produced centrally in pp interactions. The results show that the η and η ′ appear to have a similar production mechanism which differs from that of the π 0.

Summary: | A study has been made of pseudoscalar mesons produced centrally in pp interactions. The results show that the
η and
η
′ appear to have a similar production mechanism which differs from that of the
π
0. The production properties of the
η and
η
′ are not consistent with what is expected from double Pomeron exchange. In addition the production mechanism for the
η and
η
′ is such that the production cross section are greatest when the azimuthal angle between the
p
T
vectors of the two protons is 90 degrees. |
