We have determined the cross section for ^++–– in a way free of assumptions about the relative contributions from ^{0 0}, ⁰2 and 4 (uncorrelated phase space). We find a sharp onset above threshold and a rather high cross section of about 200 nb aroundW =1.5 GeV which consists to about 40% of ^{0 0} production with sizeable contributions from ⁰2 and 4 (PS). The total cross section as well as the ^{0 0} content fall rather fast at higher c.m. energies. Attempts to explain this behaviour in terms of production of known resonances are not successful so far. The angular distributions do not show any significant structure pointing to resonance formation in the 4-system. Only the ⁰-meson is observed in the moment analysis. The decay distributions of the ⁰ for forward produced rhos are fairly consistent with helicity conservation of the produced rhos in accordance with the VDM picture.
