Description

Two-photon collisions leading to final states consisting entirely of photons have been investigated with the Crystal Ball detector at the e+e- storage ring DORIS II at DESY. The process γγ → π0π0 is observed down to π0π0 threshold. The preliminary cross section and angular distributions are presented. Formation of the π0, η, and η' are measured in γγ → γγ. The η' is also measured in γγ → ηπ0π0, and the η is observed in γγ → 3π0. No signal is seen for formation of a radially excited pseudoscalar in the ηπ0π0 or 3π0 final state. (author)
