Abstract
We study the excitation spectrum of light and strange mesons in diffractive scattering. We identify different hadron resonances through partial-wave analysis, which inherently relies on analysis models. Besides statistical uncertainties, the model dependence of the analysis introduces dominant systematic uncertainties. We discuss several of their sources for the π−π−π+ and K0 SK− final states and present methods to reduce them. We have developed a new approach exploiting a priori knowledge of signal continuity over adjacent final-state–mass bins to stably fit a large pool of partial waves to our data, allowing a clean identification of very small signals in our large data sets. For two-body final states of scalar particles, such as K0 SK−, mathematical ambiguities in the partial-wave decomposition lead to the same intensity distribution for different combinations of amplitude values. We will discuss these ambiguities and present solutions to resolve or at least reduce the number of possible solutions. Resolving these issues will allow for a complementary analysis of the aJ -like resonance sector in these two final states.
