   Abstract:
   The pp→ppK⁺K^- reaction was measured below the threshold at a beam energy of 2.568 GeV using the COSY-ANKE magnetic spectrometer. By assuming that the four-body phase space is distorted only by the product of two-body final-state interactions, fits to a variety of one-dimensional distributions permit the evaluation of differential and total cross sections. The shapes of the distributions in the Kp and Kpp invariant masses are reproduced only if the K^-p interaction is even stronger than that found at higher energy. The cusp effect in the K⁺K ^- distribution at the K0K^̄0 threshold is much more clear and some evidence is also found for coupling between the K^-p and K^̄0n channels. However, the energy dependence of the total cross section cannot be reproduced by considering only a simple product of such pairwise final-state interactions. © 2013 American Physical Society.
