A study of gamma gamma -> Ks Ks production at energies of 2.4-4.0GeV at Belle
read the original abstract
$K^0_SK^0_S$ production in two-photon collisions has been studied using a 397.6 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. For the first time the cross sections are measured in the two-photon center-of-mass energy range between 2.4 GeV and 4.0 GeV and angular range $|\cos\theta^*|<0.6$. Combining the results with measurements of $\gamma\gamma\to K^+K^-$ from Belle, we observe that the cross section ratio $\sigma(K^0_SK^0_S)/\sigma(K^+K^-)$ decreases from ~0.13 to ~0.01 with increasing energy. Signals for the $\chi_{c0}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ charmonium states are also observed.

Twist-3 contributions to $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0,\,K_S^0K_S^0$ in $k_T$ factorization
Twist-3 LCDA contributions in k_T factorization dominate twist-2 for neutral channels, bringing predictions closer to data while neutral-to-charged ratios remain flat unlike observations.
