Abstract
We present a measurement and partial wave analysis of the final state K(L)K(+/-)pi(-/+) of (p) over bar p annihilation at rest in liquid hyd rogen. This reaction is important for the study of the KK decay mode o f scalar resonances, in particular, the isovectors a(0)(980) and a(0)( 1450). The determination of the a(0)(1450) production also fixes the ( K) over bar K coupling of the isoscalar f(0)(1500) which is discussed as a glueball. We find B((p) over bar p -->a(0)(1450)pi;a(0)(1450)-->( K) over bar K)=(8.88+/-1.68) X 10(-4) and hence B((p) over bar p-->f(0 )(1500)pi;f(0)(1500)-->(K) over bar K)=(4.52 +/- 0.36) x 10(-4). The m ass and width of a(0)(1450) are m = 1480+/-30 MeV/c(2) and Gamma = 265 +/-15 MeV/c(2), respectively. For a(0)(980) we determine the relative ratio B((p) over bar p-->a(0) pi;a(0)-->(K) over bar K)/B((p) over bar p-->a(0) pi;a(0)-->pi eta)=0.23+/-0.05 and its relative coupling, (K) over bar K to pi eta, is 1.03+/-0.14.
