Abstract
New data on the reactions pp → ppρ{variant}0, pn → pnρ{variant}0, pn → ppρ{variant}-, pp → ppf0, and pn → pnf0 at 7, 11.6 and 19 GeV/c are used to study the reactions pN → NNρ{variant} and pN → NNf0 in terms of isospin amplitudes. In the ρ{variant} case there are three such amplitudes MI1I2 where I1 and I2 are the isospins of the exchanges in a double peripheral diagram. The result is that the amplitude with I1 = 1 and I2 = 0 is dominating. The properties of this amplitude are such that it is likely to be dominated by the pair of exchanges ρ{variant} + η. In the f0 case there are only two amplitudes. It is found that the I1 = I2 = 0 amplitude is larger than the I1 = I2 = 1 amplitude and that it has an energy dependence such that it could be dominated by the pair of exchanges η + η.
