Abstract

By using modularized NaI(Tl) detectors, we carried out a high statistics measurement of inclusive π0 spectra from pp annihilation at rest. We did not observe any narrow π0 peaks arising from baryonium production, pp→π0B. The σ upper limit of the yield varied between 10-2 and 10-4 depending on the mass and oncharge multiplicity. Three narrow peaks at 2 σ levels were seen at approximately the same masses as in the previous measurement of pp→ γB.We also derived the yield of pp annihilation into π0M forM = ø, η′, ω, ρ{variant}0, η and π0.
