The Reaction $pp\to pp\varphi$ and the Validity of the OZI Rule

J. Haidenbauer, K. Nakayama, J. W. Durso +2

The reaction $pp\to pp\varphi$ is investigated within a relativistic meson-exchange model of hadronic interactions. The possibility of extracting the $NN\varphi$ coupling constant from a stu…
