Abstract

We study the J/ψΛπΣˉJ/\psi \to \Lambda \pi \bar{\Sigma} reaction by looking at the π+Λ\pi^+ \Lambda mass distribution at low energies, in search of signals for the low lying Σ+\Sigma^+ states. Apart from a clear signal of the Σ(1385)(3/2+)\Sigma(1385) (3/2^+) state, we find a smaller peak for the predicted Σ(1430)(1/2)\Sigma(1430) (1/2^-), which has already been confirmed by the Belle Collaboration. A first analysis, considering only the πΛ\pi\Lambda interaction, shows that the low energy part of the spectrum is better reproduced including contributions from the Σ(1430)\Sigma(1430) and the predicted Σ(1380)(1/2)\Sigma(1380)(1/2^-) state that has been claimed before from analyses of different experiments. However, when we consider the πΣˉ\pi\bar{\Sigma} interaction the need for the Σ(1380)\Sigma(1380) disappears.
