Measurement of Exclusive rho+rho- Production in Mid-Virtuality Two-Photon Interactions and Study of the gamma gamma* -> rho rho Process at LEP
Exclusive rho+rho- production in two-photon collisions between a quasi-real
photon, gamma, and a mid-virtuality photon, gamma*, is studied with data
collected at LEP at centre-of-mass energies root(s)=183-209GeV with a total
integrated luminosity of 684.8pb^-1. The cross section of the gamma gamma* ->
rho+ rho- process is determined as a function of the photon virtuality, Q^2,
and the two-photon centre-of-mass energy, W_gg, in the kinematic region:
0.2GeV^2 < Q^2 <0.85GeV^2 and 1.1GeV < W_gg < 3GeV. These results, together
with previous L3 measurements of rho0 rho0 and rho+ rho- production, allow a
study of the gamma gamma* -> rho rho process over the Q^2-region 0.2GeV^2 < Q^2
< 30 GeV^2
Measurement of Exclusive rho^0 rho^0 Production in Mid-Virtuality Two-Photon Interactions at LEP
Exclusive rho^0 rho^0 production in two-photon collisions between a
quasi-real and a mid-virtuality photon is studied with data collected at LEP at
centre-of-mass energies 183GeV < sqrt{s} < 209GeV with a total integrated
luminosity of 684.8/pb. The cross section of the process gamma gamma* -> rho^0
rho^0 is determined as a function of the photon virtuality, q^2, and the
two-photon centre-of-mass energy, Wgg, in the kinematic region: 0.2GeV^2 < q^2
< 0.85GeV^2 and 1.1GeV < Wgg < 3GeV
Measurement of Exclusive \rho^+\rho^- Production in High-Q^2 Two-Photon Collisions at LEP
Exclusive rho^+ rho^- production in two-photon collisions involving a single
highly-virtual photon is studied with data collected at LEP at centre-of-mass
energies 89 GeV < \sqrt{s} < 209 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of
854.7 pb^-1. The cross section of the process gamma gamma^* -> rho^+ rho^- is
determined as a function of the photon virtuality, Q^2, and the two-photon
centre-of-mass energy, W_gg, in the kinematic region: 1.2 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 30
GeV^2 and 1.1 GeV < W_gg < 3 GeV. The \rho^+\rho^- production cross section is
found to be of the same magnitude as the cross section of the process gamma
gamma^* -> rho^0 rho^0, measured in the same kinematic region by L3, and to
have similar W_gg and Q^2 dependences
