Title Search for backward A1 and A2 production in π-p→pπ- π + π- at 8 GeV/c*
Date 1975-03
Description Backward meson production in there action π- p→ Pπ +π- has been studied with use of a streamer chamber triggered by the detection of a fast forward proton. For cos0* <-0.98 we find no evidence of At or A2 production, and we determine total backward cross - section upper limits (95% confidence) of 0.93 and 0.72 /µb, respectively. At M3rr =1.9 GeV/c2 we observe a broad enhancement of about 3-standard-deviation significance. Evidence for backward quasi- two- body production is seen in the P0pπ" and f°pπ- channels.
