Abstract

To understand the nature of two poles for the Λ(1405)\Lambda(1405) state, we revisit the interactions of KˉN\bar{K}N and πΣ\pi\Sigma with their coupled channels, where two-poles structure is found in the second Riemann sheet. We also dynamically generate two poles in the single channel interaction of KˉN\bar{K}N and πΣ\pi\Sigma, respectively. Moreover, we make a further study of two poles' properties by evaluating the couplings, the compositeness, the wave functions, and the radii for the interactions of four coupled channels, two coupled channels and the single channel. Our results show that the nature of two poles is unique. The higher-mass pole is a pure KˉN\bar{K} N molecule, and the lower-mass one is a compositeness of mainly πΣ\pi \Sigma with tiny component KˉN\bar{K} N. From our results, one can conclude that the Λ(1405)\Lambda(1405) state would be overlapped with two different states of the same quantum number.
