“…Figure 5 shows the measured π + π − π + π − invariant mass spectrum, which exhibits a broad peak around 1540 MeV/c 2 , indicating resonant ρ production similar to what was seen in fixed-target photoproduction experiments [6][7][8][9][10][11]. This assumes that the peak is dominated by spin states with quantum numbers J P C = 1 −− .…”

“…Most of them are from photon-proton or photon-deuteron fixed-target experiments at photon energies in the range from 2.8 to 18 GeV [6][7][8][9]. The OMEGA spectrometer measured photoproduction on proton targets at energies E γ of up to 70 GeV [10]. The heaviest target nucleus used so far to study diffractive two-and four-pion photoproduction was carbon with photon energies between 50 and 200 GeV [11].…”

“…the "old" ρ ′ (or ρ(1600)) resonance [29]. Taking into account the splitting of the ρ ′ into two ρ-like resonances (ρ(1450) and ρ(1700) [30]) in photoproduction, according to the available data [26,[31][32][33][34][35][36], is not critical at least for our purposes.…”

“…Specific methods used for separating a large number of particular channels in the reaction γp → 4πp have been described in detail in Refs. [31][32][33][34][35][36]67]. Table II shows the available data on the reactions γN → π ± π 0 π + π − N for the average incident photon energies from 3.9 to 8.9 GeV.…”
It is shown that the list of unusual mesons planned for a careful study in photoproduction can be extended by the exotic states X ± (1600) with I G (J P C ) = 2 + (2 ++ ) which should be looked for in the ρ ± ρ 0 decay channels in the reactions γN → ρ ± ρ 0 N and γN → ρ ± ρ 0 ∆. The full classification of the ρ ± ρ 0 states by their quantum numbers is presented. A simple model for the spin structure of the γp → f 2 (1270)p, γp → a 0 2 (1320)p, and γN → X ± (N, ∆) reaction amplitudes is formulated and the tentative estimates of the corresponding cross sections at the incident photon energy E γ ≈ 6 GeV are obtained:The problem of the X ± signal extraction from the natural background due to the other π ± π 0 π + π − production channels is discussed. In particular the estimates are presented for the γp → h 1 (1170)π + n, γp → ρ ′ + n → π + π 0 π + π − n, and γp → ωρ 0 p reaction cross sections. Our main conclusion is that the search for the exotic X ± (2 + (2 ++ )) states is quite feasible at JEFLAB facility. The expected yield of the γN → X ± N → ρ ± ρ 0 N events in a 30-day run at the 100% detection efficiency approximates 2.8 × 10 6 events. PACS number(s): 13.60. Le, 12.40.Nn, 14.40.Ev
“…Diffractive production of ρ ′ (1600) was reported in π + π − [7] and 4π [8] final states (for reanalysis of these data in terms of ρ(1450) and ρ(1700) mesons and for references to earlier experiments at lower energies, see [9]). These states were also studied in a recent Fermilab experiment E687 [10] both in 2π and 4π channels.…”
We calculate the amplitudes of J P C = 3 −− meson production in diffractive DIS within the k t -factorization approach, with a particular attention paid to the ρ 3 (1690) meson. We find that at all Q 2 the ρ 3 (1690) production cross section is 2-5 times smaller than the ρ(1700) production cross section, which is assumed to be a pure D-wave state. Studying σ L and σ T separately, we observe domination of ρ 3 in σ L and domination of ρ(1700) in σ T and offer an explanation of this behavior in simple terms. We also find very strong contributions -sometimes even domination -of the s-channel helicity violating amplitudes. The typical color dipole sizes probed in ρ 3 production are shown to be larger than those in the ground state ρ production, and the energy dependence of ρ 3 cross section turns out to be much flatter than the ρ production cross section. All the conclusions about the relative behavior of ρ 3 (1690) and ρ(1700) mesons are numerically stable against variations of input parameters.
