Abstract

We present results from a study of centrally produced mesons in 3 × 10⁶ events with two small-angle protons at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings. A high-statistics sample of exclusive pp → ppπ⁺π^- events at √s = 63 GeV has been obtained, where the reaction mechanism is dominated by double pomeron exchange. Scalar or tensor glueballs may be produced by this process. The π⁺π^- mass spectrum has a distinctive structure, and analysis shows that the data are dominantly S-wave up to 1600 MeV. The behaviour of the D-wave provides evidence for a 2⁺⁺ resonance (M = 1480 ± 50 MeV, Γ = 150 ± 50 MeV) in addition to the f(1270). We also show data on exclusive K⁺K^-, pp, and π⁺π^-π⁺π^- production, and on the analogous reaction αα → ααπ⁺π^- at √s = 126 GeV. Flavour independence is suggested by the observation of approximately equal numbers of K⁺K^- and π⁺π^- pairs for mass above 1 GeV. The mass spectra are also apparently independent of √s (45, 63, 126 GeV) and incident particle type (p, α).
