DOIAbstract
The reaction $e^+e^−→e^+e^−π^0π^0$ has been analyzed using 97pb$^{−1}$ of data taken with the Crystal Ball detector at the DESY $e^−e^+$ storage ring DORIS II at beam energies around 5.3 GeV. For the first time we have measured the cross section for $γγ→π^0π^0$ for π0π0 mvariant masses ranging from threshold to about 2 GeV. We measure an approximately flat cross section of about 10 nb for W=$mπ^0π^0<0.8$ GeV, which is below 0.6 GeV, in good agreement with a theoretical prediction based on an unitarized Born-term model. At higher invariant masses we observe formation of the f2(1270) resonance and a hint of the f0(975). We deduce the following two-photon widths: $Γγγ(f2(1270))=3.19±0.16±0.29$ 0.28 keV and $Γγγ(f0(975))<0.53 keV$ at 90% C.L. T...
