Description

A new amplitude analysis of results on γγ→π+π- from the Mark II and γγ→π0π0 from the Crystal Ball experiments is reported. Key constraints from the low energy theorem and from analyticity and unitarity that relate γγ→ππ to other meson scattering reactions are built into the trial forms. Despite these restrictions, the limited angular coverage of the experiments means that solutions with quite different proportions of S wave and D waves of both helicities 0 and 2 are admitted above 1 GeV. This leads to a much wider range of possibilities for the couplings of the broad resonances f0(ε) and F2(1270) than is commonly supposed. The better fits have Γsub f0 in excess of 4 keV and a ratio of Γsub f0/Γ f2 greater than 2. (Author)
