Charge asymmetry in $\pi^+\pi^-$ electroproduction on proton at high energies as a test of $\sigma,\rho$ mesons degeneration

Abstract

The charge asymmetry induced by interference of amplitudes with $\sigma$ and $\rho$ mesons decaying to $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair created in the fragmentation region of proton, suggest to be a test of degeneration hypothesis of $\rho$ and $\sigma$ mesons. Some numerical estimations are given.
