The photoproduction of the final state ω π+π−π0 has been studied as part of a survey of photoproduction in the energy range 20–70 GeV in the Omega spectrometer at CERN. The π+π−π0 system produced with the ω meson has a strongρ±π± component which is predominantlyI=1 andJπ=1+. For theωρ±π∓ state a spin-parity analysis favoursJπ=1−, and the mass spectrum peaks at 2.28±0.05 GeV. The fitted width is Γ=0.44±0.11 GeV. The photoproduction cross-section of theωρ±π∓ state, averaged over the energy range 25–60 GeV, is 150±50 nb.

Study of $\eta \pi^+ \pi^-$ States in the $\rho^\prime$ (1600) Mass Region Photoproduced in the Reaction $\gamma p \to \eta \pi^+ \pi^- p$ at Photon Energies of 20-{GeV} to 70-{GeV}

In diffractive photoproduction ofηπ+π−, the two-body substatesηρ0 andA2π are found to contribute significantly to the cross-section forηπ+π− masses below 2.4 GeV. From a spin-parity analysis the branching ratio, ρ′(1600)→ηρ/ρ′(1600)→, is determined to be <0.02 at the 68.3% confidence level. TheA2π component shows an enhancement around 1.7 GeV. The spin-parity analysis indicates a probable contribution to this signal from exclusive photoproduction of theg(1690).

Photoproduction of an Isoscalar 3$\pi$ Resonance at 1.67 GeV

A ϱπ enhancement with mass 1.67 ± 0.02GeV and width 0.16 ± 0.02GeV is observed in the channel γp→pπ + π − π 0 . Assuming an incoherent background, the cross section × branching ratio is 100 ± 20 nb. A spin-parity analysis favours J P = 1 − . The enhancement is most simply interpreted as a radial recurrence of the ω meson.

PHOTON DIFFRACTIVE DISSOCIATION TO rho rho pi AND rho pi pi pi STATES

This paper reports studies of the reactions γp→ρ π π πp and γp→ρ ρ πp. In particular a peak is reported in the ρ ρ π mass spectrum with closely similar mass and width to those of the ω ρ π peak previously reported in the reaction γp→ω ρ πp. The ratio of production cross sections is found to be ρ ρ π/ω ρ π=0.96±0.19, in serious disagreement with the expectation from Vector Meson Dominance. A possible explanation is indicated.
