Measurement of the eta->3pi0 Dalitz Plot Distribution with the WASA Detector at COSY

preprint2008arXivOpen access

Abstract

In the first production run of the WASA experiment at COSY, the eta decay into three neutral pions was measured in proton-proton interactions at a proton beam kinetic energy of 1.4 GeV. The Dalitz plot of the three pions was studied using 1.2e5 fully reconstructed events, and the quadratic slope parameter alpha was determined to be -0.027+/-0.008(stat)+/-0.005(syst). The result is consistent with previous measurements and further corroborates the importance of pion-pion final state interactions.
