Light sigma-Meson Production in Excited Upsilon Decay Processes I: Analyses
Abstract
We analyze the pi pi production amplitudes in the excited Upsilon decay processes, Upsilon(2S)-->Upsilon(1S)pi+pi-, Upsilon(3S)-->Upsilon(1S)pi+pi- and Upsilon(3S)-->Upsilon(2S)pi+pi-, and the pi pi and KKbar production amplitudes in the charmonium decay processes, psi(2S)-->J psi pi+pi- and J psi-->phi pi+pi-, phi K+K-. The amplitudes are parametrized by the sum of Breit-Wigner amplitudes for the sigma and the other relevant particles and of the direct 2pi-production amplitude, following the VMW method. All the pi pi (and KKbar) invariant mass spectra are reproduced well with the sigma Breit-Wigner amplitude by using the common parameters, m_sigma=526^(+48)_(-37) MeV and Gamma_sigma =301^(+145)_(-100) MeV, which is almost consistent with the values obtained in our previous phase shift analyses. This strongly suggests the existence of light sigma-meson.
