Abstract

The one-pion exchange interaction between the kaon and the vector antikaon is investigated by solving the Schrodinger equation in the S-wave approximation. In addition to the f1(1285)f_1(1285) particle, another bound state of KKˉK \bar{K}^* is found, which is approximately 9 MeV below the threshold of KKˉK \bar{K}^* and labeled f1(1378)f_1(1378) for convenience in this manuscript. Under the outgoing wave condition, two resonance states of KKˉK \bar{K}^* are produced by solving the Schrodinger equation with different coupling constants in the one-pion-exchange potential fixed with the binding energies of KKˉK \bar{K}^* bound states f1(1285)f_1(1285) and f1(1378)f_1(1378) respectively. Both of the resonance states are located in the vicinity of 1400 MeV, and thus it is reasonable to assume that these two resonance states correspond to the f1(1420)f_1(1420) particle in the review of the Particle Data Group although they arise from different couplings of the kaon and vector antikaon, respectively.
