Abstract: | The missing mass spectrum in the region of the A?2 has been measured in the reaction π?p→X?p at 6.0 GeV/c in the interval 0.27 <|t|<0.42 (GeV/c)2, with an optical spark chamber system which simultaneously observed the decay X?→ηπ?. A signal of 230 events above background per five MeV interval is observed at the A2 peak, with a signal-to-background ratio of greater than 1:1. A single D-wave Breit-Wigner distribution with a quadratic background gives a good fit to the data, yielding the parameters M0=(1.324±0.003) GeV/c2 and Γ0=(0.104±0.009) GeV/c2. The spectrum is incompatible with a dipole shape. |
