Abstract

An analysis of the production ofK 0 S K 0 S andK ± K 0 s π by two quasi-real photons is presented. The cross section forγγK 0 \(\overline {K^0 } \), which is given for the γγ invariant mass range fromK \(\bar K\) threshold to 2.5 GeV, is dominated by thef′(1525) resonance and an enhancement near theK \(\bar K\) threshold. Upper limits on the product of the two-photon width times the branching ratio intoK \(\bar K\) pairs are given forΘ(1700),h(2030), and ξ(2220). For exclusive two-photon production ofK ± K 0 s π no significant signal was observed. Upper limits are given on the cross section ofγγK + \(\overline {K^0 } \) π orK K 0 π + between 1.4 and 3.2 GeV and on the product of the γγ width times the branching ratio into theK \(\bar K\) π final states for theη c (2980) and the ι(1440), yieldingΓ(γγ)→i(1440))·BR(i(1440)→K \(\bar K\) π<2.2 keV at 95% C.L.
