Abstract

We present an analysis of theK 0 s K 0 s system produced in the reaction π pK 0 s K 0 s n at 63 GeV based on ∼700 events in the kinematical region of |t|<0.5 GeV2. We concentrate on masses between 1,200 and 1,600 MeV where a double maximum structure is observed. Performing an amplitude analysis in this mass interval we find thatS,D 0 andD + waves contribute to the mass spectrum at approximately equal strength. The peaks are attributed to spin 2 waves. However, we failed to explained them by interferingf(1270),A 2(1310) andf′(1520) resonances alone. While the first peak can be associated withf(1270)−A 2(1310) production, an additional tensor meson is needed with mass of ∼1410 MeV and a narrow width for a description of the second one. The analysis as well as the energy dependence deduced from some publishedK 0 s K 0 s mass spectra suggests this object to be dominantly produced by a natural parity exchange. Because the 2++ \(q\bar q\) nonet is already complete the nature of the new tensor meson is an open question.
