Central Exclusive π+π− Production in pp̄ Collisions at √s = 0.9 and 1.96 TeV at the Tevatron
Exclusive π+π− production in proton-antiproton collisions at √s = 0.9 and 1.96 TeV in the Collider Detector at Fermilab has been measured. We selected events with exactly two particles with oposite charge, in |η| < 1.3, with no other particles detected in |η| < 5.9. We require the central π+π...

| Summary: | Exclusive π+π− production in proton-antiproton collisions at √s = 0.9 and 1.96 TeV in the Collider Detector at Fermilab has been measured. We selected events with exactly two particles with oposite charge, in |η| < 1.3, with no other particles detected in |η| < 5.9. We require the central π+π− to have rapidity |y| < 1. Since these events are dominated by double pomeron exchange, the quantum numbers of the central state are constrained. The data show resonance structures attributed to the f0 and f2 mesons.
