Upper limits onφφproduction in 350-GeV/cproton-beryllium collisions

Abstract
We have established a sensitive upper limit on φφ resonance production by 350-GeV/c protons incident on a beryllium target. The 90%-confidence-level upper limit varies from 1.5×1030 cm2/nucleon at Mφφ=2.8 GeV/c2 to 6.0×1032 cm2/nucleon at Mφφ=3.4 GeV/c2. We observe no evidence of the ηc.
