Slide 2 S.L.Olsen 4/4/96 Pictel mtg K pi pi MASS DISTRIBUTIONS: Fig 2: the distribution of masses recoiling against the k+, ie the k0 pi+ pi0 mass. There is a peak near 1.3 GeV. Fig 3: Fit the k0 pi+ pi0 mass distribution to a Breit Wigner + F_{bkg} (= P_1[ Q^1/2 + P_2 Q^3/2 + P_3 Q^5/2; Q>0 = 0; Q<0 Q = M_kpipi - M_thresh) ********************************* | * N_evts = 34.6 +/- 12.0 events * 1.0 GeV ********************************* Fig 4: the distribution of masses recoiling against the k0, ie the k+ pi- pi0 mass. This also has a peak around 1.3. Fig 5: Fit the k+ pi- pi0 mass distribution to a BW + f_bkg ********************************* * N_evts = 39.6 +/- 10.0 events * ********************************* MASSES and WIDTHS: k0 pi+ pi0 | k+ pi- pi0 | PDG K1(1270) | PDG K1(1400) ------------------|----------------|---------------|-------------- Mass (GeV) 1.26+/-0.02 | 1.33+/-0.02 | 1.27+/-0.01 | 1.40+/-0.007 Width(GeV) .125+/-.046 | .120+/-.044 | .090+/-.020 | .174+/-.013 ------------------|----------------|---------------|-------------- pipi and kpi masses: Fig 6: The combined pi+/- pi0 mass distribution for the two samples described above. Lots of events is the rho region, but no clear peak. Fig 7: The combined k pi mass distribution for the two samples. There is some k*(890).
