Abstract
The dual resonance model (DRM) is used to estimate the cross sections and the background for the production of narrow high-spin mesons in an idealized missing-mass (MM) experiment $a+b\ensuremath{\rightarrow}c+\mathrm{MM}$, in which the particles $a$, $b$, and $c$ are spinless and do not carry any internal quantum numbers. The theoretical results are compared with the recent Northeastern-Stony Brook (NU/SUNY) experiment. It is found that, while the calculated backgrounds agree reasonably well, the $S$, $T$, and $U$ cross sections are substantially higher than their experimental upper limits obtained from this experiment. In a mathematical appendix we also present a general method for calculating $N$-point dual amplitudes with two external particles of arbitrary spin.
