Evidence for iota(1460) production in. pi. /sup -/p interactions at 21. 4 GeV/c

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The K/sub S//sup 0/K/sub S//sup 0/..pi../sup 0/ system has been studied in the exclusive reaction ..pi../sup -/p..-->..K/sub S//sup 0/K/sub S//sup 0/..pi../sup 0/n at 21.4 GeV/c. Evidence for the production of the f/sub 1/(1285) and the eta(1460) is presented. The eta(1460) is produced away from minimum momentum transfer in the presence of nonresonant K/sup */K (S-wave) production and phase-space background. The observed mass, width, and decay properties of the eta(1460) are consistent with those attributed to the iota(1460) observed in radiative J/psi decay.
