Spectroscopy of the D‐wave qq̄ system; evidence for two JP=2− strange meson states decaying to K−ω*

Evidence is presented for two JP=2− strange mesons; one at ∼1.77 and the other at ∼1.82 GeV/mathc2. These states have been observed in a partial wave analysis of the K−ω system in the reaction K−p→K−π+π−π0p where the strange mesons decay into K−ω and the ω then decays to π+π−π0. The data set contains ∼105 K−ωp events at 11 GeV/c taken with the LASS spectrometer at SLAC.
