Abstract
We have performed an experiment to investigate the reaction p + p → p1 + p2 + X at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR). The dependence of the cross-section on the mass and rapidity of the system X, and on the momentum transfer squared t1, t2 to the outgoing protons is studied. We observe signals for the production of , ω, f, and A2 mesons in the missing-mass spectra, and conclusions are made about the contribution of double-Pomeron exchange.
