The analysis of reactions $πN\to two mesons + N$ within reggeon exchanges. 1. Fit and results

Abstract

The novel point of this analysis is a direct use of reggeon exchange technique for the description of the reactions $πN\to two mesons + N$ at large energies of the initial pion. This approach allows us to describe simultaneously distributions over $M$ (invariant mass of two mesons) and $t$ (momentum transfer squared to nucleons). Making use of this technique, the following resonances (as well as corresponding bare states), produced in the $πN\to π^0π^0 N$ reaction are studied: $f_0(980)$, $f_0(1300)$, $f_0(1200-1600)$, $f_0(1500)$, $f_0(1750)$, $f_2(1270)$, $f_2(1525)$, $f_2(1565)$, $f_2(2020)$, $f_4(2025)$. Adding data for the reactions $p\bar p({\rm at rest, from liquid H_2})\to π^0π^0π^0$, $π^0π^0η$, $π^0ηη$ and $p\bar p({\rm at rest, from gaseous H_2})\to π^0π^0π^0$, $π^0π^0η$, $π^0ηη$, we have performed simultaneous $K$-matrix fits of two-meson spectra in all these reactions. The results of combined fits to the above-listed isoscalar $f_J$-states and to isovector ones, $a_0(980)$, $a_0(1475)$, $a_2(1320)$, are presented.
