A MEASUREMENT OF THE TOTAL HADRONIC CROSS-SECTION IN TAGGED gamma gamma REACTIONS

The TPC/Two Gamma collaboration Aihara, H. ; Alston-Garnjost, M. ; Avery, R.E. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 41 (1990) 2667, 1990.
Inspire Record 281351 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.22991

We present a measurement of the total cross section for γγ→hadrons, with one photon quasireal and the other a spacelike photon of mass squared −Q2. Results are presented as a function of Q2 and the γγ center-of-mass energy W, with the Q2 range extending from 0.2 to 60 GeV2, and W in the range from 2 to 10 GeV. The data were taken with the TPC/Two-Gamma facility at the SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP, which was operated at a beam energy of 14.5 GeV. The cross section exhibits a gentle falloff with increasing W. Its Q2 dependence is shown to be well described by an incoherent sum of vector-meson and pointlike scattering over most of the observed W range. Agreement at high Q2 is improved if a minimum-pT cutoff (motivated by QCD) is imposed on the pointlike contribution.

A Measurement of $\pi^0 \pi^0$ Production in Two Photon Collisions

The Crystal Ball collaboration Marsiske, H. ; Antreasyan, D. ; Bartels, H.W. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 41 (1990) 3324, 1990.
Inspire Record 294492 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.22923

The reaction e+e−→e+e−π0π0 has been analyzed using 97 pb−1 of data taken with the Crystal Ball detector at the DESY e−e+ storage ring DORIS II at beam energies around 5.3 GeV. For the first time we have measured the cross section for γγ→π0π0 for π0π0 mvariant masses ranging from threshold to about 2 GeV. We measure an approximately flat cross section of about 10 nb for W=mπ0π0<0.8 GeV, which is below 0.6 GeV, in good agreement with a theoretical prediction based on an unitarized Born-term model. At higher invariant masses we observe formation of the f2(1270) resonance and a hint of the f0(975). We deduce the following two-photon widths: Γγγ(f2(1270))=3.19±0.16±0.280.29 keV and Γγγ(f0(975))<0.53 keV at 90% C.L. The decay-angular distributions show the π0π0 system to be dominantly spin 0 for W<0.7 GeV and spin 2, helicity 2 in the f2(1270) region, with helicity 0 contributing at most 22% (90% C.L.).

First observation of the reaction gamma gamma ---> pi (2) ---> pi0 pi0 pi0

The Crystal Ball collaboration Antreasyan, D. ; Bartels, H.W. ; Besset, D. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 48 (1990) 561-568, 1990.
Inspire Record 296523 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15136

The Crystal Ball detector has been used at the DORIS II storage ring at DESY to study the reactionγγ→π0π0π0 in theπ0π0π0 invariant mass range from 850 MeV/c2 to 2600 MeV/c2. An enhancement around 1750 MeV/c2 is attributed to theπ2(1670) resonance. The observedπ0π0 invariant mass distribution and theπ0 angular distributions are consistent with those expected for the decay chainπ2→π0f2(1270)→π0π0π0. From our measurements we find the following resonance parameters: two photon partial width\(\Gamma _{\pi _2 }^{\gamma \gamma }= (1.41 \pm 0.23 \pm 0.28)keV\), massM(π2)=(1742±31±49)MeV/c2. and total width\(\Gamma _{\pi _2 }^{tot}= (236 \pm 49 \pm 36)MeV\).

Lambda Antilambda production in two-photon interactions at CLEO.

The CLEO collaboration Anderson, S. ; Kubota, Y. ; Lattery, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 56 (1997) R2485-R2489, 1997.
Inspire Record 439745 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47140

Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell $e~+e~-$ storage ring, CESR, we study the two-photon production of $\Lambda \overline{\Lambda}$, making the first observation of $\gamma \gamma \to \Lambda \overline{\Lambda}$. We present the cross-section for $ \gamma \gamma \to \Lambda \overline{\Lambda}$ as a function of the $\gamma \gamma$ center of mass energy and compare it to that predicted by the quark-diquark model.
