Reaction. pi. /sup -/p. -->. phiphin and evidence for glueballs

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The authors have detected 1203 events of the reaction ..pi../sup -/p..-->..phiphin at 22 GeV/c, and have performed a partial-wave analysis of the phiphi system. The results are well represented by two resonances, both with quantum numbers I/sup G/ = 0/sup +/, J/sup P/C = 2/sup + +/. The breakdown of the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka suppression observed in this reaction is naturally explained in the context of QCD if these states are considered to be glueball candidates.
