Abstract

The reactione + e e + e π+ππ0 in the untagged mode has been measured with the CELLO detector at PETRA. The cross section is dominated by exclusivea 2(1320) production, whose radiative width is determined to beΓ γγ=1.00±0.07(stat.)±0.15(syst.)keV. An angular correlation analysis indicates pure helicity 2 with an upper limit on the helicity 0 contribution of 8.2% (at 95% c.l.). Excitation of the pseudotensor meson π 02 (1670) is observed for the first time in this reaction. The π2 radiative width and its dependence on interference effects are studied.
