A maximum likelihood analysis of ARGUS data on two-photon production of π + π + π 0 π 0 π − π − is presented. A small fraction of events is due to the production of omega pairs. The γγ → ωω cross section has its maximum value close to threshold.

First Observation of $\gamma \gamma \to \omega \omega$

The ARGUS collaboration Albrecht, H. ; Andam, A.A. ; Binder, U. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 198 (1987) 577-582, 1987.
Inspire Record 247566 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30070

The reaction γγ → 2 π + 2 π − 2 π 0 has been studied using the ARGUS detector at the e + e − storage ring DORIS II at DESY. Production of ω mesons is observed and, in particular, the reaction γγ → ωω is seen for the first time. The cross section for γγ → ωω has an enhancement at ∼ 1.9 GeV/ c 2 of about 10 nb. The cross sections for γγ → 2 π + 2 π − 2 π 0 and γγ → ωπ + π − π 0 are also given.
