Abstract

The K ⁰ _s K ⁰ _s and π ⁺ π ^– π ⁰ final states in two-photon collisions are studied with the L3 detector at LEP. A full energy dependent partial wave analysis demonstrates that the two-photon mass spectra are dominated by the formation of tensor mesons. Their masses, widths and two-photon partial widths are determined.
