title = "Search for backwards-produced exotic meson resonances in 8.4 GeV/c π+p interactions",
abstract = "Results are reported from a hybrid experiment designed to search for backwards-produced charge = + 2 exotic meson resonances by investigating the reaction π+ + p → X++ + n (forward) at 8.4 GeV/c. The data reported here correspond to approximately 30 events per microbarn. No clear evidence for narrow exotics mesons was found for masses ≤ 3.0 GeV in the decay modes accessible for study which included: X++→π+π+, π+π+π+π-, π+π+π+π+π-π-, and ppπ+π+.",

note = "Funding Information: one or eight members, as do all observed meson states. In a quark model, it would have to be made of at least two quarks and two antiquarks, unlike all observed meson states which can be constructed from a single quark-antiquark pair. Since reaction (1) involves a virtual Ap interaction at the proton vertex, it is an example of baryon-antibaryon scattering, which violates the rules of two- * Work supported by the National Science Foundation and the US Atomic Energy Commission. * Senior postdoctoral fellow on leave from Ecole Polytech-nique.
