Abstract
The Crystal Barrel Detector has been in operation since October 1989. Results on the analysis of the annihilation of protonium at rest into three pseudoscalars is presented. The pi0pi0pi0 final state confirms t he existence of f2(1520)-->pi0pi0. In the etaeta system of the pi0etae ta final state an isoscalar J(PC) = 0++ resonance with a mass of 1560 MeV/c2 and a width of 245 MeV/c2 is observed. The identification with f0(1590) is doubtful since the etaeta' decay is not observed with the corresponding strength. Our analysis yields an upper limit for the rel ative branching ratio BR(f0(1560)-->etaeta')/BR(fo(1560)-->etaeta) < 0 .24.
