Abstract: (Springer)
We report on the first exclusive measurement of the 2π production in NN collisions atTp=750 MeV using a H2 cluster jet target and the WASA/PROMICE detector at CELSIUS. In the invariant-mass spectrumMppπM_{pp\pi ^ -} we observe a narrow peak at 2.063(2) GeV with a 4σ deviation relative to the MC simulations for the conventional nonresonant 2π production process. The finding is in agreement with the hypothesis of a narrowπNN resonance withI(JP)=even (0−), calledd′, postulated recently to describe the peculiar resonance-like behavior of the pionic double charge exchange on nuclei.
