Abstract
The reaction at is investigated. It is found to be dominated by the simultaneous production of the (895 MeV) and (1238 MeV) resonances. The production and decay angular distributions of these resonances in the double-resonance channel are analyzed and the results compared with the predictions of a single-particle-exchange model. These distributions are consistent with the assumption that the primary production mechanism responsible for the reaction at is the exchange of a single meson. A search is conducted in this channel for other possible resonant states. A Monte Carlo analysis is utilized for this purpose. The data are not found to be consistent with the production of any other resonances except the aforementioned (895 MeV) and (1238 MeV).
