Neutral Vector-Meson Production from an Electron-Positron Colliding Beam as a Test ofCNoninvariance in the Electromagnetic Interaction

Abstract

The production of a pair of identical neutral vector mesons from a colliding electron-positron beam is studied. Processes from both $C$-noninvariant and $C$-invariant interactions (i.e., $1\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and $2\ensuremath{\gamma}$ intermediate states) are considered, and differential and total cross sections are calculated. The correlation of the decay products from the vector mesons is also calculated for the $C$-noninvariant process.
