  • Description: The cross sections for the pp -> ppK(+)K(-) reaction were measured at three beam energies 2.65, 2.70, and 2.83 GeV at the COSY-ANKE facility. The shape of the K+K- spectrum at low invariant masses largely reflects the importance of K (K) over bar final state interactions. It is shown that these data can be understood in terms of an elastic K+K- rescattering plus a contribution coming from the production of a K-0(K) over bar (0) pair followed by a charge-exchange rescattering. Though the data are not yet sufficient to establish the size of the cusp at the K-0(K) over bar (0) threshold, the low mass behaviour suggests that isospin-zero production is dominant.
