Study of $\pi^0$ pair production in single-tag two-photon collisions
Abstract
We report a measurement of the differential cross section of pair production in single-tag two-photon collisions, , in scattering. The cross section is measured for up to 30 GeV, where is the negative of the invariant mass squared of the tagged photon, in the kinematic range 0.5 GeV < W < 2.1 GeV and < 1.0 for the total energy and pion scattering angle, respectively, in the center-of-mass system. The results are based on a data sample of 759 fb collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy collider. The transition form factor of the and that of the with the helicity-0, -1, and -2 components separately are measured for the first time and are compared with theoretical calculations.
