QCD axial anomaly enhances the $ηη^\prime$ decay of the hybrid candidate $η_1(1855)$

Abstract: We study the hybrid mesons with the exotic quantum number I G J P C = 0 + 1 −+ and investigate their decays into the ηη ′ , a1(1260)π, f1(1285)η, f1(1420)η, K1(1270) K, and K1(1400) K channels. We find that the QCD axial anomaly significantly enhances the decay width of the ηη ′ channel although this mode is strongly suppressed by the small P -wave phase space. Our results support the interpretation of the η1(1855) recently observed by BESIII as the ssg hybrid meson of I G J P C = 0 + 1 −+ . The QCD axial anom… Show more

“…Although the K K1 (1400) molecular of η 1 (1835) has been successfully explained theoretically, the internal structure of η 1 (1855) is still controversial. The QCD axial anomaly support the interpretation of the η 1 (1855) as the ssg hybrid meson [28]. Their results indicate that ηη ′ decay mode to be a characteristic signal of the hybrid nature of the η 1 (1855).…”

“…The experimental measurements for such a strong decay process could be crucial to test the nature of the η 1 (1855). Because the ηη ′ decay channel play the dominant role when the η 1 (1855) is explained as the ssg hybrid meson [28]. The partial width for η 1 (1855) → γφ can reach up to 10.16 +0.19 −0.35 KeV, which can be detected in many experiment.…”

“…The η 1 (1855) is the first observed candidate of isoscalar 1 −+ hybrid [38,39,61,62]. Further studies with more production mechanisms and decay modes will help clarify the nature of the η 1 (1855).…”

“…In the light quark sector two potential hybrid states, the isovector π 1 (1600) [2] and the very recently observed isoscalar η 1 (1855) [3], have been identified as states with quantum numbers J PC = 1 −+ . The observation of the hybrid isoscalar has piqued the interests of the community [4][5][6], since it may provide important guidance for high-quality predictions of masses and decay widths of the missing members of the J PC = 1 −+ -nonet. The members of (light) hybrid nonet are the subject matter of the present study.…”
