Omega Production in pp Collisions

Abstract

A model-independent irreducible tensor formalism which has been developed earlier to analyze measurements of $\vec{p}\vec{p}\to pp{\pi }^{\circ }$, is extended to present a theoretical discussion of $\vec{p}\vec{p}\to pp\omega$ and the polarization of $\omega$ in $pp\to pp\vec{\omega }$. The recent measurement of unpolarized differential cross section for $pp\to pp\omega$ is analyzed using this theoretical formalism.
