Summary
Evidence is presented for structure in the f0-mass region in the reaction π+n→pπ+π− at a pion momentum of 11.7 GeV/c. A detailed analysis indicates that it is most unlikely that the structure is a statistical effect.
Riassunto
Si presenta la prova sperimentale di una possibile struttura dello spettro di massa dipionico nella regione del mesone f0 rilevato nello studio della reazione π+n→pπ+π− a 11.7 GeV/c. Si riporta una analisi dettagliata dalla quale risulta poco probabile che l’effetto possa attribuirsi ad una fluttuazione statistica.
