Abstract: (APS)
The recent BESIII data on J/ψγ(KSKSπ0), which is significantly more precise than earlier η(1405/1475)-related data, enables quantitative discussions on η(1405/1475) at the previously unreachable level. We conduct a three-body unitary coupled-channel analysis of experimental Monte Carlo outputs for radiative J/ψ decays via η(1405/1475): KSKSπ0 Dalitz plot distributions from the BESIII, and branching ratios of γ(ηπ+π-) and γ(γπ+π-) final states relative to that of γ(KK¯π). Our model systematically considers (multi)loop diagrams and an associated triangle singularity, which is critical for making excellent predictions on η(1405/1475)πππ line shapes and branching ratios. The η(1405/1475) pole locations are revealed for the first time. Two poles for η(1405) are found on different Riemann sheets of the K*K¯ channel, while one pole is found for η(1475). The η(1405/1475) states are described by two bare states dressed with continuum states. The lower bare state would be an excited η, while the higher one could be an excited η(), hybrid, glueball, or a mixture of these. This work presents the first-ever pole determination based on a manifestly three-body unitary coupled-channel framework applied to experimental three-body final state distributions (Dalitz plots).
