The reaction pp --> p(f)(pi (0)pi (0)pi (0))p(s) has been studied at 450 Ge
Vc. The pi (0)pi (0)pi (0) effective mass spectrum shows clear eta (547) an
d pi (2)(1670) signals. Branching ratios for the eta (547) and pi (2)( 1670
) are given as well as upper limits for the decays of the omega (782), a(1)
(1260) and a(2)(1320) into 3 pi (0). (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science
