Title: Determination of the Pole Position of the Lightest Hybrid Meson Candidate

Abstract

Mapping states with explicit gluonic degrees of freedom in the light sector is a challenge, and has led to controversies in the past. In particular, the experiments have reported two different hybrid candidates with spin-exotic signature, π1(1400) and π1(1600), which couple separately to ηπ and η'π. This picture is not compatible with recent Lattice QCD estimates for hybrid states, nor with most phenomenological models. We consider the recent partial wave analysis of the η(')π system by the COMPASS Collaboration. We fit the extracted intensities and phases with a coupled-channel amplitude that enforces the unitarity and analyticity of the S matrix. We provide a robust extraction of a single exotic π1 resonant pole, with mass and width 1564 ± 24 ± 86 and 492 ± 54 ± 102 MeV, which couples to both η(')π channels. We find no evidence for a second exotic state. We also provide the resonance parameters of the a2(1320) and a'2(1700).

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Fits to the ηπ (upper line) and η0π (lower line) data from COMPASS. The intensities of the P (left), D wave (center), and their relative phase (right) are shown. The inset zooms into the region of the a'2(1700). The solid line and green band show the result ofmore » the fit and the 2σ confidence level provided by the bootstrap analysis, respectively. The initialization of the fit is chosen by randomly generating O(105) different sets of values for the parameters. The best fit has χ2=dof = 162/122 = 1.3. The errors shown are statistical only.« less
