Abstract
The exclusive electroproduction of two pions in the mass range 0.4<Mππ<2.5 GeV has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb−1. The analysis was carried out in the kinematic range of 2<Q2<80 GeV2, 32<W<180 GeV and |t|<0.6 GeV2, where Q2 is the photon virtuality, W is the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy and t is the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex. The two-pion invariant-mass distribution is interpreted in terms of the pion electromagnetic form factor, |F(Mππ)|, assuming that the studied mass range includes the contributions of the ρ, ρ′ and ρ′′ vector-meson states. The masses and widths of the resonances were obtained and the Q2 dependence of the cross-section ratios σ(ρ′→ππ)/σ(ρ) and σ(ρ′′→ππ)/σ(ρ) was extracted. The pion form factor obtained in the present analysis is compared to that obtained in e+e−→π+π−.
