Abstract

The production of the tensor mesons f0(1270) and K*0(1430) and the scalar meson S(975) has been observed in e+e- annihilation at 29 GeV center-of-mass energy by use of data obtained with the high-resolution spectrometer at the SLAC e+e- storage ring PEP. The mean multiplicities for meson momenta greater than 1450 MeV/c are nf0=0.11+0.04, nK*0(1430)=0. 10+0.06, and nS=0.05+0.02 per hadronic event. The fragmentation functions of the tensor mesons are in good agreement with the predictions of the Webber cluster model. The data are consistent with a predominant strange-quark content on the S meson.
