Observation of a new narrow axial-vector meson a₁(1420)
read the original abstract
The COMPASS collaboration at CERN has measured diffractive dissociation of 190 GeV/$c$ pions into the $\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+$ final state using a stationary hydrogen target. A partial-wave analysis (PWA) was performed in bins of $3\pi$ mass and four-momentum transfer using the isobar model and the so far largest PWA model consisting of 88 waves. A narrow $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ signal is observed in the $f_0(980)\,\pi$ channel. We present a resonance-model study of a subset of the spin-density matrix selecting $3\pi$ states with $J^{PC} = 2^{++}$ and $4^{++}$ decaying into $\rho(770)\,\pi$ and with $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ decaying into $f_0(980)\,\pi$. We identify a new $a_1$ meson with mass $(1414^{+15}_{-13})$ MeV/$c^2$ and width $(153^{+8}_{-23})$ MeV/$c^2$. Within the final states investigated in our analysis, we observe the new $a_1(1420)$ decaying only into $f_0(980)\,\pi$, suggesting its exotic nature.

The $a_1(1420)$ in a Unitary Coupled-Channel Three-Body Approach
Nine-channel unitary three-body fits to COMPASS lineshapes reproduce the a1(1420) enhancement by triangle singularity without requiring a genuine a1(1420) pole.

The $a_1(1420)$ in a Unitary Coupled-Channel Three-Body Approach
Unitary coupled-channel three-body model fitted to COMPASS data reproduces the a1(1420) enhancement via triangle singularity, indicating no genuine resonance pole is required.

Effects of Final State Interactions on Landau Singularities
Triangle singularities mimicking resonances are analyzed in the presence of final-state rescattering using Landau equations and a scattering formalism enforcing two- and three-body unitarity.
