Detecting the pure triangle singularity effect through the ψ(2S)→pp¯η/pp¯π0 process

Abstract

In this work, the triangle singularity mechanism is investigated in the $\psi(2S) \to p \bar{p} \eta / p \bar{p} \pi^0$ process. The triangle loop composed by $J/\psi$, $\eta$ and $p$ has a singularity in the physical kinematic range for the $\psi(2S) \to p \bar{p} \eta / p \bar{p} \pi^0$ process, and it would generate a very narrow peak in the invariant mass spectrum of $p\eta (\pi)$ around $1.56387$ GeV, which is far away from both the threshold and relative resonances. In these processes, all the involved vertices are constrained by the experimental data. Thus, we can make a precise model independent prediction here. It turns out that the peak in the $p\eta$ invariant mass spectrum is visible, while it is very small in the $p\pi^0$ invariant mass spectrum. We expect this effect shown in $p \bar{p} \eta$ final state can be observed by the Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) and Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF) in the future.
