论文摘要
指南针实验最近发现了一个具有轴向矢量量子数,$ a_1(1420)$的新型等异源共振式信号,衰减至$ f_0(980)π$。质量太接近宽度,宽度小于轴向矢量基$ a_1(1260)$,它立即被解释为新的光异国情调的介子,类似于$ x $,$ y $,$ y $,$ z $ state in Hidden-Charm sector中。我们表明,类似于共振的信号完全匹配实验数据是由$ a_1(1260)$共振的衰减产生的$ k^\ ast(\ tokπ)\ bar {k} $,然后通过三角形的奇异性将coupled $ f_0 $ f_0(980)通过三角形删除。该过程的幅度是使用基于分散关系的新方法来计算的。三角形模型拟合到指南针实验的部分波数据。尽管参数较少,但这种拟合的质量比使用共振假设的质量略好,从而消除了需要额外共鸣以描述数据的需求。因此,我们首次在轻媒体领域证明了实验数据中类似于共振的结构,可以通过通过三角形奇异性进行逆转来描述,从而提供了真正的三体效应的证据。
The COMPASS experiment recently discovered a new isovector resonance-like signal with axial-vector quantum numbers, the $a_1(1420)$, decaying to $f_0(980)π$. With a mass too close to and a width smaller than the axial-vector ground state $a_1(1260)$, it was immediately interpreted as a new light exotic meson, similar to the $X$, $Y$, $Z$ states in the hidden-charm sector. We show that a resonance-like signal fully matching the experimental data is produced by the decay of the $a_1(1260)$ resonance into $K^\ast(\to Kπ)\bar{K}$ and subsequent rescattering through a triangle singularity into the coupled $f_0(980)π$ channel. The amplitude for this process is calculated using a new approach based on dispersion relations. The triangle-singularity model is fitted to the partial-wave data of the COMPASS experiment. Despite having less parameters, this fit shows a slightly better quality than the one using a resonance hypothesis and thus eliminates the need for an additional resonance in order to describe the data. We thereby demonstrate for the first time in the light-meson sector that a resonance-like structure in the experimental data can be described by rescattering through a triangle singularity, providing evidence for a genuine three-body effect.
