Abstract:
We perform a momentum-space calculation of the reaction ppppπ 0pp \rightarrow pp\pi ~0 near threshold. Direct production and pion rescattering are taken into account. For the latter a T-matrix obtained from a microscopic model of the πN\pi N interaction is employed. The effects of some approximations commonly used in studies of ppppπ 0 pp \rightarrow pp\pi ~0 \ are discussed. We find that those approximations overestimate the cross section and also modify its energy dependence. We obtain a significant contribution from rescattering, but not nearly enough to describe the data.
