Study of (p)over-barp -> eta eta pi(0)pi(0) in flight

An analysis of data on (p) over barp --> eta eta pi (0)pi (0) is presented at (p) over bar beam momenta 600 to 1940 MeV/c. There is evidence for an I = 1, J(PC) = 2(-+) resonance in eta eta pi (0) with mass M = 1880 +/- 20 Me V and width 255 +/- 45 MeV, decaying strongly to a(2)(1320)(eta); it is too strong to be explained as the high mass tail of pi (2)(1670) --> a(2)(1320 )(eta). There is tentative evidence also for weak decays to f(0)(1500)pi. I t makes a natural partner to the eta (2)(1860). (C) 2001 Published by Elsev ier Science B.V.
