Masses, widths, and branching ratios of hadronic resonances are quantified by their pole positions and residues with respect to transition amplitudes on the Riemann sheets of the complex energy-plane. In this study we discuss the analytic structure in the physical energy region of three-body scattering amplitudes on such manifolds. As an application, we determine the pole position of the $a_1(1260)$ meson from the ALEPH experiment by allowing for $\pi\rho$ coupled channels in S- and D-wave. We find it to be $\sqrt{s_0}=(1232^{+15+9}_{-0-11}-i266^{+0+15}_{-22-27})~\text{MeV}$.

  1. Emergence of the $\pi(1300)$ Resonance from Lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2025-10 conditional novelty 8.0

    Lattice QCD plus three-body scattering formalism yields a π(1300)-like pole at (1169±46)−i(62−62+168) MeV, consistent with experiment.

  2. The $a_1(1420)$ in a Unitary Coupled-Channel Three-Body Approach

    hep-ph 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.5

    Nine-channel unitary three-body fits to COMPASS lineshapes reproduce the a1(1420) enhancement by triangle singularity without requiring a genuine a1(1420) pole.

  3. Production Effects and Final-state Interactions in $\pi_1 \to 3\pi$

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A Khuri-Treiman model with contact and one-pion-exchange production terms fits COMPASS's π1→3π freed-isobar data and produces a smooth 1.6 GeV structure in the extracted production strengths.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Fitting a spectator-isobar three-body unitary amplitude to BESIII K0S K0S pi0 data yields poles at (1277±2±1)-i(12±1±0) MeV for f1(1285) and (1435±2±7)-i(40±2±1) MeV for f1(1420), with the latter traced to a K Kbar* q...

  5. Coupled-channel approach to isotensor $\pi\pi\pi$ scattering from lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    The I=2 three-pion spectrum from lattice QCD is described by a repulsive rho-pi S-wave interaction, consistent with a leading-order effective Lagrangian.

  6. The $a_1(1420)$ in a Unitary Coupled-Channel Three-Body Approach

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

    hep-ph 2024-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
