dc.descriptionThe measurements of reactions $π^- p \to π^- π^+ n$ and $π^+ n \to π^+ π^- p$ on polarized targets at CERN found a strong dependence of pion production amplitudes on nucleon spin. Analyses of recent measurements of $π^- p \to π^0π^0 n$ reaction on unpolarized targets by GAMS Collaboration at 38 GeV/c and BNL E852 Collaboration at 18 GeV/c use the assumption that pion production amplitudes do not depend on nucleon spin, in conflict with the CERN results on polarized targets. We show that measurements of $π^- p \to π^0π^0 n$ and $π^- p \to ηηn$ on unpolarized targets can be analysed in a model independent way in terms of 4 partial-wave intensities and 3 independent interference phases in the mass region where $S$- and $D$-wave dominate. We also describe model-independent amplitude analysis of $π^- p \to π^0π^0 n$ reaction measured on polarized target, both in the absence and in the presence of $G$-wave amplitudes. We suggest that high statistics measurements of reactions $π^- p \to π^0 π^0 n$ and $π^- p \to ηηn$ be made on polarized targets at Protvino IHEP and at BNL, and that model-independent amplitude analyses of this polarized data be performed to advance hadron spectroscopy on the level of spin dependent production amplitudes.
