Partial-Wave Analysis of the Centrally Produced π⁺π⁻ System in pp Reactions at COMPASS — •Alexander Austregesilo¹, Boris Grube¹, Stephan Paul¹, and Tobias Schlüter² — ¹Technische Universität München — ²Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München

COMPASS is a fixed-target experiment at CERN SPS which investigates the structure and spectroscopy of hadrons. During 9 weeks in 2008 and 2009, a 190 GeV/c proton beam impinging on a liquid hydrogen target was used in order to study the production of exotic mesons and glueball candidates at central rapidities. As no bias on the production mechanism was introduced by the trigger system, the contribution from diffractive dissociation of the beam proton poses a challenge. Several approaches were tried to disentangle a clean, centrally produced sample. A model to describe the data in terms of partial-waves will be introduced. Furthermore, preliminary fits will be presented and compared to results from previous experiments. Particular attention has to be paid to the ambiguities in the amplitude analysis of the two-pseudoscalar final state.
