A search for non-qqbar mesons in the WA102 experiment at the CERN Omega Spectrometer
A. Kirk, the WA102 Collaboration
TL;DR
This paper investigates central meson production at CERN, revealing that qqbar mesons are suppressed at low dPT while glueball candidates are enhanced, providing insights into meson composition.
Contribution
It introduces a method to distinguish qqbar mesons from glueball candidates based on dPT dependence in central production.
Findings
qqbar mesons suppressed at small dPT
glueball candidates enhanced at small dPT
dPT dependence helps identify meson types
Abstract
A study of central meson production as a function of the difference in transverse momentum dPT of the exchanged particles shows that undisputed qqbar mesons are suppressed at small dPT whereas the glueball candidates are enhanced.
