An amplitude analysis of ππ scattering from new data on the reaction π-p→π+π-n

Description

The authors have carried out a partial-wave analysis of ππ scattering in the mass range 1.0 to 2.08 GeV/c2. Solutions similar to those obtained in previous analyses below 1.8 GeV/c2 are found, but, in addition, a new solution is obtained which does not suffer from violations of unitarity and is compatible with data from other channels. This solution, when continued to 2.08 GeV/c2, shows a g meson with mass and width of 1.734+-0.010 GeV/c2 and 0.322+-0.035 GeV/c2 respectively, and an h meson with mass 1.935+-0.013 GeV/c and width 0.263+-0.057 GeV/c2. The L=2 partial wave contains the f meson and an additional resonance with parameters m=1.502+-0.025 GeV/c2. GAMMA=0.165+-0.042 GeV/c2 and x=0.19+-0.03. If this state is associated with the f'(1514) the ππ branching fraction is considerably higher than previous determinations. An SU(3) fit to the 2+ nonet yields a mixing yield angle of 38.4+-1.30.
