Abstract

The reaction e+e-→ π+π-π0η has been studied in the center-of-mass energy region below 2 GeV in the experiment with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e- collider. The reaction proceeds via the four intermediate states: ωη, $ \phi \eta $, a0(980)ρ, and a structureless π+π-π0η state, which may be, for example, ρ(1450)π state with ρ(1450) → ρ(770)η. The total e+e-→ π+π-π0η cross section and the cross section for its components, ωη, $ \phi \eta $, and a sum of a0(980)ρ and the structureless state, have been measured separately. Our results are in agreement with previous measurements and have comparable or better accuracies.

Highlights

  • The main goal of experiments at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider [1] is the precision measurement of the total cross section of e+e− annihilation into hadrons in the center-of-mass (c.m.) energy (E) region below 2 GeV

  • The process e+e− → π+π−π0η gives a sizeable contribution to the total cross section above 1.6 GeV. It was established [2] that the e+e− → π+π−π0η reaction proceeds through ωη, φη, a0(980)ρ intermediate states and a structureless π+π−π0η mechanism

  • The only measurement of the e+e− → π+π−π0η reaction and the cross sections for the subprocesses e+e− → a0ρ and e+e− → nres was performed in the CMD-3 experiment [9] at VEPP-2000

Summary

Introduction

The main goal of experiments at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider [1] is the precision measurement of the total cross section of e+e− annihilation into hadrons in the center-of-mass (c.m.) energy (E) region below 2 GeV. The process e+e− → π+π−π0η gives a sizeable contribution to the total cross section above 1.6 GeV. It was established [2] that the e+e− → π+π−π0η reaction proceeds through ωη, φη, a0(980)ρ intermediate states and a structureless π+π−π0η mechanism (nres). The only measurement of the e+e− → π+π−π0η reaction and the cross sections for the subprocesses e+e− → a0ρ and e+e− → nres was performed in the CMD-3 experiment [9] at VEPP-2000. We analyze the π+π−π0η final state with the η meson decayed to γγ and measure separately cross section for its intermediate states
