Abstract / Description of output

In most investigations the Roper resonance is sensed only very indirectly via complex partial wave analyses. We find indications for its excitation in the pp -> np pi(+) reaction, where some resonance-like structure is observed in the invariant n pi(+) mass spectrum at M approximate to 1360 MeV with a width of 150 MeV. The values fit very favorably to the most recent phase shift results as well as to the observations at BES. In near-threshold two-pion production pp -> pp pi(0)pi(0) the Roper excitation and its subsequent decay into N pi pi is the only dominant process. There we find its decay into the N sigma channel as the dominating decay process - in favor of a monopole nature of the Roper excitation. (c) 2007 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
