Abstract

Lattice-QCD predicts the exotic meson π1(1600)\pi_1(1600) to dominantly decay to b1πb_1\pi. The b1πb_1\pi decay channel is accessible via the ωππ0\omega\pi^{-}\pi^{0} final state. COMPASS recorded the so far largest data set of this final state. A partial-wave analysis allows to determine the resonant content in this final state including possible contributions from π1(1600)\pi_1(1600). Decomposing the measured intensity into amplitudes of partial waves gives a first qualitative insight into contributing intermediate states. We observe signals in agreement with well-established states like the π(1800)\pi(1800) and a4(1970)a_4(1970). Smaller resonance-like signals are visible in the JPCJ^{PC} sectors 3++3^{++} and 6++6^{++}, where possible states were claimed but none are established. For JPC=1+J^{PC}=1^{-+} a signal at 1.65GeV/c21.65\,\mathrm{GeV/}c^{2} in b1(1235)πb_1(1235)\pi partial waves is consistent with the expected π1(1600)\pi_1(1600).
