Measurement ofK + K − production in γγ collisions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The production of charged kaon pairs in two-photon interactions has been studied with the ARGUS detector and the topological cross section has been measured. The γγ-widths and interference parameters have been determined for the tensor mesonsf 2 (1270),a 2 (1318) andf′ 2 (1525). The helicity structure assumed for the continuum contribution has a significant effect on the result. Upper limits have been obtained for the γγ-widths of the glueball candidate statesf 2 (1720) andX (2230).
