A phenomenological study of {gamma}{gamma} {yields} {pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0} at low energies

Abstract

The neutral-pion mode of the two-photon process ({gamma}{gamma} {yields} {pi}{pi}) is herein, the subject of a phenomenological study. The experimental data, to which the theoretical descriptions of the total cross-section will be fitted, are provided by the Crystal Ball Collaboration. As a result, new estimates for {Gamma}(f{sub 0} {yields} {gamma} {gamma}) and {Gamma}(f{sub 2}{yields}gammagamma``) are predicted and used thereafter to evaluate the validity of the cross-sections models that yielded them. Fixed-t dispersion relations, Breit-Wigner formalism, and Vector-Meson Dominance are the main theoretical means of this study which is characterised by the emergence of the crossed channel ({gamma}{pi}{sup 0} {yields}{gamma}{pi}{sup 0}) contribution as a possible explanation to account for the presence of the observed experimental low-energy background in the direct channel.
