Partial-wave analysis of coherent 3 π production on nuclei at 200 GeV

  • 1. Univ. of Rochester, NY

Description

The authors carried out a partial-wave analysis (PWA) of three-pion systems produced in the coherent dissociation of π+ mesons on nuclear targets. The data have been analyzed for copper and lead targets at an incident π+ energy of 202.5 GeV. This PWA provides further evidence for resonant contributions of J/sup p/ = 1+ and 0- waves at 3π prime masses below 1.5 GeV, which can be plausibly identified with A1 and π mesons. The contribution from electromagnetic production of the A2 has also been extracted, and an estimate for Coulomb production and radiative width of the A1 has been obtained
