QCD Axial Anomaly Enhances the ηη' Decay of the Hybrid Candidate η1(1855)

We study the hybrid mesons with the exotic quantum number IG JPC = 0+1−+ and investigate their decays into the ηη', a1(1260)π, f1(1285)η, f1(1420)η, K*(892)K-, K1(1270)K-, and K1(1400)K-,, channels. It is found that the QCD axial anomaly enhances the decay width of the ηη' channel although...

Description
Summary:We study the hybrid mesons with the exotic quantum number IG JPC = 0+1−+ and investigate their decays into the ηη', a1(1260)π, f1(1285)η, f1(1420)η, K*(892)K-, K1(1270)K-, and K1(1400)K-,, channels. It is found that the QCD axial anomaly 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 s-sg hybrid meson of IGJPC = 0+1−+. The QCD axial anomaly ensures the ηη' decay mode to be a characteristic signal of the hybrid nature of the η1(1855). © 2022 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd
