Description

We report on the exclusive production of π, K and proton pairs from photon-photon interactions at momentum transfers vertical stroketvertical stroke >= 1 GeV2. Using the PLUTO detector at the e+e- storage ring PETRA, we have observed 15 events in an integrated luminosity of 41.7 pb-1. The data lie far below the expectations for point-like hadrons, and are in reasonable agreement with the QCD-based predictions of Brodsky and Lepage. (orig.)
