Description

The COMPASS experiment, at CERN SPS, has collected the worlds largest statistics of the reaction pi- p -> pi- pi- pi+ p - more than 5*10^7 events. The amount and also the quality of this data sample allows for detailed studies of 3pi partial-wave amplitudes behaviour in 2 dimentions: invariant mass m(3pi) and four momentum transfer t'. The method of traditional mass-independent PWA with 3 body isobar model is performed in multiple m(3pi) and t' bins which is followed by mass-dependent analysis performed simultaneously in all t' slices. This makes it possible for efficient separation between resonant and background components. The new PWA method of simultaneous optimization of 3pi isobaric amplitudes and several pi+pi- amplitudes - different for each J^PC 3pi mother state (so called "de-isobared fit") is developed and applied to the current data.
