Evidence against broad dibaryons

Abstract
Spin-correlation parameters ALL, ASL, ANL, AN0, AS0, AL0, and A0L have been measured for the reaction pp→npπ+ at 492, 576, 643, 729, and 796 MeV. An isobar analysis determines magnitudes and phases of partial waves up to NN F33. For the amplitude NN(1 D2)→NΔ(5 S2), the phase shows a strong threshold enhancement in the channel, dropping from 44.4°±4.4° at 492 MeV to 11.9°±1.9° at 796 MeV. Other phases show little activity. Broad dibaryons are conclusively ruled out in D21, F33, and P23 in this energy range.
