Abstract

We analyze the existing data on the angular distributions of the γγπ+π,π0π0\gamma\gamma\to \pi^+ \pi^- ,\pi^0 \pi^0 reactions with using of the unitary model for helicity 2 amplitude. The purpose is to obtain the D--wave parameters and S--wave cross section. We obtain from experiment in the first time the values of α+β\alpha + \beta for sum of the electric and magnetic pion's polarizabilities. We found the S-wave cross sections much smaller as compared with previous similar analysis. Comparison of the γγπ+π\gamma\gamma\to \pi^+ \pi^- and γγπ0π0\gamma\gamma\to \pi^0 \pi^0 data gives an indication for a marked I = 2, J = 2 contribution in region of f2(1270)f_2(1270).
