Modeling of non-resonant Deck-like contributions in diffractive-dissociation reactions at COMPASS — •Dmitri Rybachikov — Physik-Department E18, Technische Universität München

COMPASS is a multi-purpose fixed-target experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron aimed at studying the structure and spectrum of hadrons. The spectrum of light-meson resonances is studied in diffractive-dissociation reactions using a 190 GeV/c π⁻ beam. The flagship channel is the π⁻π⁺π⁻ final state, for which COMPASS has recorded the currently largest data sample. The extraction of resonances from these data is limited mainly by the understanding of non-resonant components. One of the main non-resonant production mechanisms in this reaction is the Deck effect. We will present studies of a model of the Deck process and compare it to COMPASS data.
