Photoproduction of ϕ mesons by linearly polarized photons of energy 20–40 GeV and further evidence for a photoproduced high-massKK enhancement

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

A study of ϕ-meson photoproduction by partially polarized photons of energy 20–40 GeV is reported. The production mechanism is found to conserves-channel helicity and to proceed via natural-parity exchange in thet channel. In the photoproduction of high-massK + K − states with photons of energy 20–70 GeV, there is evidence for an enhancement at a mass of 1.76 GeV with width 0.08 GeV.
