Abstract
We present a study of the {Mathematical expression}p → {Mathematical expression}p2π+2π- reaction at 5.7 GeV/c for which we have obtained a cross-section of (0.18 ± 0.05) mb. Abundant Δ and {Mathematical expression} production was observed. A rough estimate of the rate for double-resonance production, i.e. {Mathematical expression}p → {Mathematical expression} --Δ++π+π-, is also given. The general features of the {Mathematical expression}p → {Mathematical expression}p2π+2π- reaction are interpreted by means of a multiperipheral Regge model slightly modified to take into account the strong Δ and {Mathematical expression} production.
