Study of the $ηπ$ and $η'π$ spectra and interpetation of possible exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ mesons

Authors

Description

We discuss a coupled channel analysis of the $ηπ$ and $η'π$ systems produced in $π^-p$ interactions at 18 GeV/$c$. We show that known $Q\bar Q$ resonances, together with residual soft meson-meson rescattering, saturate the spectra including the exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ channel. A possibility of a narrow exotic resonance at a mass near 1.6 GeV/$c^2$ cannot, however, be ruled out.
