Title: Study of multiple pion production reactions at the VEPP-2M storage ring using a cryogenic magnetic detector

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6920511

The cross sections for the processes e/sup +/e/sup -/..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/ and e/sup +/e/sup -/..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup 0/ have been measured in the energy range 2E = 1019--1403 MeV with the cryogenic magnetic detector (CMD) at the VEPP-2M electron-positron storage ring. The limit B(phi..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup 0/)<1.5 x 10/sup -4/ has been obtained at the 95% confidence level. At the energy 2E = 1403 MeV, the cross section sigma = 0.26 +- 0.12 nb for the reaction e/sup +/e/sup -/..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup 0/..pi../sup 0/ has been measured, and a limit sigma<45 pb on the cross section for e/sup +/e/sup -/..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/ has been obtained at the 95% confidence level.
