We report a high-statistics measurement of the differential cross section of the process gamma gamma --> K^0_S K^0_S in the range 1.05 GeV <= W <= 4.00 GeV, where W is the center-of-mass energy of the colliding photons, using 972 fb^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e^- collider operated at and near the Upsilon-resonance region. The differential cross section is fitted by parameterized S-, D_0-, D_2-, G_0- and G_2-wave amplitudes. In the D_2 wave, the f_2(1270), a_2(1320) and f_2(1525) are dominant and a resonance, the f_2(2200), is also present. The f_0(1710) and possibly the f_0(2500) are seen in the S wave. The mass, total width and product of the two-photon partial decay width and decay branching fraction to the K bar{K} state Gamma_{gamma gamma}B(K bar{K}) are extracted for the f_2(1525), f_0(1710), f_2(2200) and f_0(2500). The destructive interference between the f_2(1270) and a_2(1320) is confirmed by measuring their relative phase. The parameters of the charmonium states chi_{c0} and chi_{c2} are updated. Possible contributions from the chi_{c0}(2P) and chi_{c2}(2P) states are discussed. A new upper limit for the branching fraction of the P- and CP-violating decay channel eta_c --> K^0_S K^0_S is reported. The detailed behavior of the cross section is updated and compared with QCD-based calculations.
We report a measurement of the cross section for $K^0_S$ pair production in single-tag two-photon collisions, $gamma^* gamma to K^0_S K^0_S$, for $Q^2$ up to 30 GeV$^2$, where $Q^2$ is the negative of the invariant mass squared of the tagged photon. The measurement covers the kinematic range 1.0 GeV < W < 2.6 GeV and $|cos theta^*| < 1.0$ for the total energy and kaon scattering angle, respectively, in the $gamma^* gamma$ center-of-mass system. These results are based on a data sample of 759 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. For the first time, the transition form factor of the $f_2(1525)$ meson is measured separately for the helicity-0, -1, and -2 components and also compared with theoretical calculations. Finally, the partial decay widths of the $chi_{c0}$ and $chi_{c2}$ mesons are measured as a function of $Q^2$.
We present a high-statistics measurement of differential cross sections and the total cross section for the process gamma gamma -> pi^0 pi^0 in the kinematic range 0.6 GeV <= W <= 4.0 GeV and |cos theta*| <= 0.8, where W and theta* are the energy and pion scattering angle, respectively, in the gamma gamma center-of-mass system. Differential cross sections are fitted to obtain information on S, D_0, D_2, G_0 and G_2 waves. The G waves are important above W ~= 1.6 GeV. General behavior of partial waves is studied by fitting differential cross sections in a simple parameterization where amplitudes contain resonant contributions and smooth background. The D_2 wave is dominated by the f_2(1270) meson whose parameters are consistent with the with the current world averages. The D_0 wave contains a f_2(1270) component, whose fraction is fitted. For the S wave, the f_0(980) parameters are found to be consistent with the values determined from our recent pi^+ pi^- data. In addition to the f_0(980), the S wave prefers to have another resonance-like contribution whose parameters are obtained.
We have measured the cross section for pi^0 pi^0 production in two-photon collisions using a data sample with an ntegrated luminosity of 95 fb^-1 collected with the Belle detector. We find at least four resonant structures including a peak from f_0(980), and a fitting of the result to partial-wave amplitudes assuming some resonances are applied. We also make a discussion on the higher-energy region data based on the preliminary results from an increased sample corresponding to the integrated luminosity of 223 fb^-1.
We report a measurement of the differential cross section of $pi^0$ pair production in single-tag two-photon collisions, $gamma^* gamma to pi^0 pi^0$, in $e^+ e^-$ scattering. The cross section is measured for $Q^2$ up to 30 GeV$^2$, where $Q^2$ is the negative of the invariant mass squared of the tagged photon, in the kinematic range 0.5 GeV < W < 2.1 GeV and $|cos theta^*|$ < 1.0 for the total energy and pion scattering angle, respectively, in the $gamma^* gamma$ center-of-mass system. The results are based on a data sample of 759 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. The transition form factor of the $f_0(980)$ and that of the $f_2(1270)$ with the helicity-0, -1, and -2 components separately are measured for the first time and are compared with theoretical calculations.
The differential cross section of the process gamma gamma -> pi^0 pi^0 has been measured in the kinematical range 0.6 GeV < W < 4.0 GeV and |cos theta*|<0.8 in energy and pion scattering angle, respectively, in the gamma gamma center-of-mass system. We find at least four resonant structures including a peak from f_0(980). In addition, there is evidence for chi_{c0} production. We also make a preliminary discussion of the angular dependence and cross section ratio to gamma gamma -> pi^+ pi^-.
