First results from experiment WA91 at the CERN omega spectrometer

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Experiment WA91 searches for non-\(q\bar q\) mesons produced in the central region in the reaction pp→pf(X0)ps at 450 GeV/c using the CERN Omega Spectrometer. WA91 is a continuation of the WA76 experiment which has studied this reaction using beams of 85 and 300 GeV/c. Preliminary results from experiment WA91 are presented. In particular the X(1450) and X(1900) observed for the first time in the π+π-π+π- channel of the WA76 experiment at 300 GeV/c are confirmed by the WA91 data.
