Abstract
The reaction pp --> p(f)p(s)(K+K-K+K-) in which the K+K-K+K- system is centrally produced has been studied at 450 GeV/c. phi phi production has been found to dominate this reaction and is compatible with being produced by double Pomeron exchange. An angular analysis of the phi ph i system favours J(PC) = 2(++) and its dP(T) dependence is similar to that observed for glueball candidates. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
