Abstract
A spin-parity analysis of a sample of p̄p → K+K-π+π-π0 annihilation events taken at rest in gaseous H2 at NTP is reported. The invariant mass spectrum of the K+K-π0 system shows the presence of the E/t resonance pattern at 1.42 GeV. The analysis of this signal confirms the results obtained by the OBELIX Collaboration in previous works, namely: the existence of two pseudoscalar states at 1.413 ± 0.002 and 1.460 ± 0.012 GeV with widths 0.051 ± 0.004 and 0.120 ± 0.015 GeV, respectively. The p̄p system in the 3PI wave shows also a signal corresponding to the axial vector fI (1420) decaying to K* K̄ with mass 1.420 ± 0.003 GeV and width 0.061 ± 0.005 GeV. A study of the incoherent phase space background shows that its origin is mostly due to the reflection of a resonant state in the K+ K-π+π- system. The isobar decomposition of this resonant state is mainly f0(1370)(ππ)S, its parameters are: JPC = 0++, m = 1.670 ± 0.02 GeV and width 0.267 ± 0.036 GeV. This signal can be probably identified with another decay mode of the f0(1710).
