Abstract:
We present here a model-independent irreducible tensor approach to meson production in NN collisions, which leads to a spin-structure of the T-matrix valid at all energies together with exact partial-wave expansions for the reaction amplitudes. We then make use of these expressions to estimate the values of the partial-wave amplitudes for the reaction p}ěc{p}-> ppπ /supo, using the IUCF data of Meyer et al.
