The Holy Grail of Hadron Machines and BNL wants another piece of the action
Expectations 20 Years Ago X(2880) • + Verified DESY result • + Indicated hadronic production • was possible • Too low of mass to be hc • (possible ccqq state?) W. D. Apel, et al., PL 72B 500(1978)
Expectations 20 Years Ago h, h’, hc mixing Harari, PL 60B, 172(1976) hc contains 10% h and 30% h’ Fritzsch and Jackson, PL 66B (1977) hc contains 1% h and 2% h’ hc”gg QCD BR ~ 1x10-3

Raw Events gg events predicted from p0g and p0p0 events Acceptance Corrected Events
FinalResult s x Br < 44 pb s(p-p -> hcn) < .15 mb s(p-p -> hcn) s(p-p -> hn) < .02 hc mass
Physics Post Script hc”gg is found CERN FNAL Armstrong, et al., PR D52, 4839(1995) Baglin, et al., PL B187, 191(1987)
Physics of E732 – Twenty Years Later • hc’s are still scarce • Br(hc”gg) ~ .3 x 10-3 (theory 1 x 10-3) • X(2880) has disappeared • hc does not mix with the h, h’
