A. Abele et al., EXOTIC ETA-PI STATE IN (P)OVER-BAR-D ANNIHILATION AT REST INTO PI(-)PI(0)ETA P(SPECTATOR), Physics letters. Section B, 423(1-2), 1998, pp. 175-184
With antiprotons slopped in liquid deuterium, the <(p)over bar n> anni
hilation channel pi(-)pi(0) eta was studied using a final sample of 52
576 events obtained for a spectator proton momentum < 100 MeV/c. In t
he intensity distribution the eta pi P-wave is clearly apparent by its
interferences with the dominant rho(-)(770) rind a(2)(1310) two-meson
resonances. A partial wave analysis of the data yields evidence for r
esonant behaviour of the eta pi P-wave, which has the non-<q(q)over ba
r> quantum numbers I-G = 1(-), J(PC) = 1(-+). The extracted Breit-Wign
er resonance parameters are m = (1400 +/- 20 +/- 20) MeV/c(2) and Gamm
a = (310 +/- 50(-30)(+50)) MeV/c(2). (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Sc
