A. Buzzo et al., SEARCH FOR NARROW (P)OVER-BAR-P RESONANCES IN THE REACTION (P)OVER-BAR-P-](P)OVER-BAR-P-PI(-)()PI(), Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 76(3), 1997, pp. 475-478
The reaction (p) over bar p --> (p) over bar p pi(+)pi(-) has been stu
died with high statistics at CERN-LEAR with incident (p) over bar mome
nta from 1.65 to 2.0 GeV/c by the JETSET (PS202) experiment. The aim o
f this paper is to search for narrow resonances decaying to (p) over b
ar p. No evidence for such structures is found. In particular, an uppe
r limit for the production of a 2.02 GeV state with a width of Gamma =
20 MeV, having been seen in other hadroproduction experiments, is est
ablished. Our results restrict the cross section for such a peak to be
below 200 nb at the 95% confidence level.
