Resonance production and ππ S -wave in π+

Abstract: The COMPASS collaboration has collected the currently largest data set on diffractively produced π − π − π þ final states using a negative pion beam of 190 GeV=c momentum impinging on a stationary proton target. This data set allows for a systematic partial-wave analysis in 100 bins of three-pion mass, 0.5 < m 3π < 2.5 GeV=c 2 , and in 11 bins of the reduced four-momentum transfer squared, 0.1 < t 0 < 1.0 ðGeV=cÞ 2. This two-dimensional analysis offers sensitivity to genuine one-step resonance production, i.e.… Show more

“…The importance of different decay channels can be estimated by the relative branching fractions of the a 1 (1260) decay. The latest measurements were carried out by the CLEO experiment from τ decay [38,39] and by the COMPASS experiment in diffractive production [40]. The extraction of branching ratios is model-dependent and is influenced by the production mechanism; however, we get a rough estimate of their relative importance.…”

“…We employ the method of partial-wave analysis in a two-step approach. In the first step, called partial-wave decomposition, data are decomposed into contributions from various partial waves [1]. To this end, we construct a model for the intensity distribution I (τ) of the π − π − π + final state in terms of the five-dimensional phase-space variables of the 3π system that are represented by τ.…”

“…Our flagship channel is the decay into three charged pions: π − + p → π − π − π + + p recoil . COMPASS has acquired the so far world's largest dataset of about 50 M exclusive events for this channel, which allows us to apply novel analysis methods [1].…”

“…To describe the reaction one indeed needs to have a model for the dynamics of the full system, which is not part of the approach considered here. An alternative way to proceed is a mass-independent analysis, widely used by the COMPASS and VES experiments [20]. The idea here is to perform the Khuri-Treiman analysis independently in bins of w without any assumptions on c (i) (w) (essentially constants at every bin).…”
