Experiment: ALEPH (LEP)

Inspire ID: 626022

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: none listed

References: - Phys.Lett.B 569 (2003) 140-150

Beams: 22 22

Beam energies: ANY

Run details: - gamma gamma to hadrons

Measurement of the differential cross section for γγ → π⁺π⁻ ($2<\sqrt{s}<6$ GeV) and K⁺K⁻ ($2.25<\sqrt{s}<4$ GeV). The cross section as a function of the centre-of-mass energy of the photonic collision is measured, and the differential cross section with respect to the meson scattering angle are measured.
