The pp→ppπ+π− reaction studied in the low-energy tail of the Roper resonance

Year: 2003
Type: article
Abstract: Exclusive measurements of the $p\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p}\mathrm{pp}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ reaction have been carried out at ${T}_{p}=775\mathrm{MeV}$ at CELSIUS using the PROMICE/WASA setup. Together with data obtained at lower energy, they point to a dominance of the Roper excitation in this process. From the observed interference of its decay routes ${N}^{*}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}N\ensuremath{\sigma}$ and ${N}^{*}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\Delta}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}N\ensuremath{\sigma},$ their energy-dependent relative branching ratio is determined.
