Tests of the quark-line rule for theηηcomplex

Abstract
The quark-line rule involving η and η mesons has been tested for reactions π+pηΔ++, π+pηη, pp¯π+πη, etc. The results appear to be consistent with a general particle-mixing model for the ηη complex, and suggest that the validity of the rule is fairly reasonable. Other experimental tests of the rule are also discussed.
