Abstract: (APS)
We have studied correlations between two π0's produced at the CERN intersecting storage rings, utilizing detectors with large azimuthal acceptance. We find that the previously observed enhancement of two π0's produced at azimuthal difference near 180° can be made to vanish when certain kinematic effects are removed. However, we observe aligned configurations above 8 GeV of transverse energy unexplained by such kinematic effects.
