Abstract

Rare decay modes of the f meson are studied in the final states Δ⁺⁺π⁺π^-π⁺π^-, Δ⁺⁺π⁺π^-MM and Δ⁺⁺π⁺π^-π⁺π^-MM. The ratio Γ (f → π⁺π^-π⁰π⁰) Γ(f → π⁺π^-) is 0.23 ± 0.09 and Γ(f → 4 π) saturates the f inelasticity. A 2 s.d. upper limit of 0.09 is found for the branching ratio (f → ηη) (f → 2π).
