Abstract: (Elsevier)
The effective mass spectrum of π 0 pairs produced in pp central collisions ( pp → p f π 0 π 0 p s ) at 450 GeV/c, s = 29 GeV , below 1 GeV differs from that observed in peripheral charge exchange reactions. In particular, there is a large number of events between ππ-threshold and 1 GeV, that interfere with f 0 (980) destructively. The possible existence of a broad S-wave state is suggested.
