Abstract
Using 448.0 × 106 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis is performed for ψ(3686) → γχc1, χc1 → ηπ+π− decays. The most dominant two-body structure observed is a(980)+-π∓; a(980)+- → ηπ+-. The a(980) line shape is modeled using a dispersion relation, and a significant nonzero a(980) coupling to the η0π channel is measured. We observe χc1 → a2(1700)π production for the first time, with a significance larger than 17σ. The production of mesons with exotic quantum numbers, JPC 1⁄4 1−+ , is investigated, and upper limits for the branching fractions χc1 → π1(1400)+-π∓, χc1 → π1(1600)+-π∓, and χc1 → π1(2015)+-π∓, with subsequent π1(X)+- → ηπ` decay, are determined.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
