Abstract

We have measured the reaction

π^{-} p \to K^{+} K^{-} K^{+} K^{-} n

at 22.6 GeV/c and detect strong

ϕ

signals in the

K^{+} K^{-}

effective-mass plots. We do not observe the expected Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-rule suppression of the

ϕ ϕ n

final state and conclude that the rule is working poorly in the observed production processes.
