Abstract
Resonance production in the γγ reactions e+e-→e+e+e-π0π0 and e+e-π0η has been studied with the JADE detector at PETRA. The decay widths into γγ of the f2(1270), a0(980) and a2(1320) were measured to be {Mathematical expression} Kev, Γλλ(a0(980))=0.28±0.04±0.10 KeV/BR(a0(980)→π0η) and Γλλ(a2(1320))=1.01±0.14±0.22KeV. For the f0(975) and f4(2050) upper limits of the widths were obtained, Γλλ(f0(975))<0.6 KeV, and Γλλ(f4(2050))<1.1 KeV, both at the 95% C.L. Assuming that the spin 0 background under the f2(1270) is small, the f2(1270) was found to be produced exclusively in a helicity 2 state. The helicity 0 contribution is <15% at the 95% C.L. The cross section for λλ→π0π0 in the mass range 2.0-3.5 GeV/c2 was measured for the first time. Since the cross section for λλ→π+π- is a factor ∼2 larger, ππ production in this range can be interpreted as taking place via isospin 0 production.
