Description

An analysis of the reaction pp→ p+p-p ow is presented. The annihilations took place at rest in liquid hydrogen. This measurement finds that p+p-po w is produced in 16.1 ± 1.0565544f such annihilations. A prominent signal of pp→ ww is observed. The rate for this process was measured using a technique which is practically background free; the measured rate is BRpp→ ww =3.23± 0.25% . This rate is important in calculations concerning pp < /math> annihilation dynamics. A partial wave analysis was also performed. New results include possible observation of ω π π decay modes for the a1(1260), h1(1170) and a1(1700) . These results need confirmation. Also, the b1< /sub>π decay mode of the ω (1600) is found to be stronger than the ω (π π )s decay mode: BRw1600 → b1p/BR w1600→ w pp< /g>s =1.6± 0.2. .
