We have studied the Dalitz plot of the e+e- -> pi0 pi0 gamma events collected at sqrt(s) ~ m(phi) with the KLOE detector. In the dipion invariant mass region below 700 MeV, the process under study is dominated by the non-resonant process e+e- -> omega pi0 with omega -> pi0 gamma whereas, for higher mass values, the radiative phi decay to the f0(980) is the dominant mechanism. Different theoretical models are used to fit the Dalitz plot, taking also into account a possible contribution of the sigma(600). For each model, we extract the f0(980) mass and its coupling to pipi, KKbar and to the phi.

Abstract
We have studied the Dalitz plot of the e+e- -> pi0 pi0 gamma events collected at sqrt(s) ~ m(phi) with the KLOE detector. In the dipion invariant mass region below 700 MeV, the process under study is dominated by the non-resonant process e+e- -> omega pi0 with omega -> pi0 gamma whereas, for higher mass values, the radiative phi decay to the f0(980) is the dominant mechanism. Different theoretical models are used to fit the Dalitz plot, taking also into account a possible contribution of the sigma(600). For each model, we extract the f0(980) mass and its coupling to pipi, KKbar and to the phi.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
