Abstract
We have measured the reaction γγ → π+π-π0 using the PLUTO detector at PETRA. A pronounced enhancement is seen in the π+π-π0 mass distribution corresponding to the A2 meson. The event configuration in this enhancement favors a 2+ spin-parity assignment. The value of Γγγ=1.06 ±0.18±0.19 keV obtained for the two-photon decay width of the A2 agrees with previous measurements and with quark model predictions.
