Abstract: (Elsevier)
The mass and width of ϱ -mesons of all charges are studied as a function of momentum transfer t in a large compilation of ππ mass histograms from bubble chamber experiments. For small t , the ϱ masses are found to be t -dependent, the ϱ + and ϱ − masses significantly different and the ϱ o mass strongly reaction-dependent. Significant ω decay into π + π − is found. The detailed structure of the ϱ -meson is discussed.
