Abstract

Recent BES data on J/ψϕππJ/\psi \to \phi \pi\pi indicate that there is a possible new spin-0 state (f0(1790)f_0(1790)) with a mass of m=179030+40MeV/c2m=1790^{+40}_{-30} \mathrm{MeV}/\mathrm{c}^2. Assuming it to be an iso-singlet 0+(0++)0^+(0^{++}), we propose a new mixing scheme to describe this and the other three known iso-singlet f0(1370)f_0(1370), f0(1500)f_0(1500), f0(1710)f_0(1710) states by adding iso-singlet hybrid states to the usual basis of two iso-singlet quarkonia and one glueball. Since there are two iso-singlet hybrid states, (uuˉ+ddˉ)g/2(u\bar u+d\bar d)g/\sqrt 2 and ssˉgs\bar sg, this new basis implies existence of another iso-singlet state XX. Using known data, we estimate the ranges of the mixing parameters. We find two sets of solutions with X mass predicted to be about 1820 MeV and 1760 MeV, respectively. We also study implications on the decay properties of these new states.
