Rivet analyses

γγ → π+π− for centre-of-mass energies between 1 and 1.5 GeV

Experiment: VENUS (Tristan)

Inspire ID: 392360

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - J.Phys.Soc.Jap. 64 (1995) 435-447

Beams: 22 22

Beam energies: ANY

Run details: - gamma gamma to hadrons

Measurement of the differential cross section for γγ → π+π−. Both the cross section as a function of the centre-of-mass energy of the photonic collision, and the differential cross section with respect to the pion scattering angle are measured.
