Simulated spin-interference patterns in ρ(1450)→4π decays give a distinct azimuthal modulation for the π(1300)π channel, allowing its branching fraction to be extracted.

abstract
The STAR collaboration reports the first observation of exclusive rho^0 photo-production, AuAu->AuAu rho^0, and rho^0 production accompanied by mutual nuclear Coulomb excitation, AuAu->Au*Au*rho^0, in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions. The rho^0 have low transverse momenta, consistent with coherent coupling to both nuclei. The cross sections at sqrt(s_NN)=130GeV agree with theoretical predictions treating rho^0 production and Coulomb excitation as independent processes.

Improved tensor-pomeron model for π⁺π⁻ photoproduction and central exclusive production in pp collisions that accounts for different subenergies in the Drell-Söding contribution and yields larger cross sections with more skewed ρ⁰ lineshape.
A suppression factor R_G=0.85 is tuned to F2 and rho photoproduction data and used to predict observables for rho(2S), omega, and phi states via holographic wave functions in the dipole picture.
