Measurement of the cross section for [gamma][gamma][r arrow][ital p[bar p]]

Journal Article · · Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (United States)
A measurement of the cross section for [gamma][gamma][r arrow][ital p[bar p]] is performed at two-photon center-of-mass energies between 2.00 and 3.25 GeV. These results are obtained using [ital e][sup +][ital e][sup [minus]][r arrow][ital e][sup +][ital e][sup [minus]][ital p[bar p]] events selected from 1.31 fb[sup [minus]1] of data taken with the CLEO II detector. The measured cross section is in reasonable agreement with previous measurements and is in excellent agreement with recent calculations based on a diquark model. However, leading order QCD calculations performed using the Brodsky-Lepage formalism are well below the measured cross section.
