Abstract

The recent BESIII data on J/ψγ(KSKSπ0)J/\psi\to\gamma(K_SK_S\pi^0), which is significantly more precise than earlier η(1405/1475)\eta(1405/1475)-related data, enables quantitative discussions on η(1405/1475)\eta(1405/1475) at the previously unreachable level. We conduct a three-body unitary coupled-channel analysis of experimental Monte-Carlo outputs for radiative J/ψJ/\psi decays via η(1405/1475)\eta(1405/1475): KSKSπ0K_SK_S\pi^0 Dalitz plot distributions from the BESIII, and branching ratios of γ(ηπ+π)\gamma(\eta\pi^+\pi^-) and γ(γπ+π)\gamma(\gamma\pi^+\pi^-) final states relative to that of γ(KKˉπ)\gamma(K\bar{K}\pi). Our model systematically considers (multi-)loop diagrams and an associated triangle singularity, which is critical in making excellent predictions on η(1405/1475)πππ\eta(1405/1475)\to \pi\pi\pi lineshapes and branching ratios. The η(1405/1475)\eta(1405/1475) pole locations are revealed for the first time. Two poles for η(1405)\eta(1405) are found on different Riemann sheets of the KKˉK^*\bar{K} channel, while one pole for η(1475)\eta(1475). The η(1405/1475)\eta(1405/1475) states are described with two bare states dressed by continuum states. The lower bare state would be an excited η\eta^\prime, while the higher one could be an excited η()\eta^{(\prime)}, hybrid, glueball, or their mixture. This work presents the first-ever pole determination based on a manifestly three-body unitary coupled-channel framework applied to experimental three-body final state distributions (Dalitz plots).
