The elastic photoproduction of four pions has been studied at incident photon energies between 2.8 and 4.8 GeV. Production cross-sections are presented and an analysis of the angular decay correlations is also described, indicating a large 1− contribution in both final states, π+ π− π+ π− and π+ π− π0 π0. A quantitative understanding of these and other available 4π photoproduction data in terms of the ρ′(∼1.2GeV) and the ρ′(∼1.6) is presented.
