A search for the ξ(2230) resonance in the bar p p → KsKs channel at LEAR [Low Energy Antiproton Ring]

Description

Seventeen measurements of differential and total cross sections of the bar pp → KsKs reaction in the antiproton momentum range of 1.30 GeV/c to 1.57 GeV/c are presented. Most of these measurements are centered around the mass of the ξ(2230) resonance first seen in the K+K- and KsKs channel of the radiative decay of the J/Ψ by the MARK III collaboration at SLAC. The trajectories of the charged decay products of the Ks particles are recorded by two stacks of drift chambers and a set of plastic streamer tube planes. The bar pp → KsKs → π+π-π+π- events are reconstructed by a computer program and undergo a full kinematic fitting. A branching ratio upper limit, BR(bar pp → ξ)·BR(ξ → KsKs), on the presence of the resonance is calculated. The experiment was performed by the PS185 collaboration at the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN
