Description

We analyze the existing data on the angular distributions of the $γγ\to π^+ π^- ,π^0 π^0$ reactions with using of the unitary model for helicity 2 amplitude. The purpose is to obtain the D--wave parameters and S--wave cross section. We obtain from experiment in the first time the values of $α+ β$ for sum of the electric and magnetic pion's polarizabilities. We found the S-wave cross sections much smaller as compared with previous similar analysis. Comparison of the $γγ\to π^+ π^-$ and $γγ\to π^0 π^0$ data gives an indication for a marked I = 2, J = 2 contribution in region of $f_2(1270)$.
