S.

Taking into account explicitly the effects of charged exotic intermediate states in the $t$- and $u$-channels as well as the two-pion final state interaction, we describe the invariant mass distribution for four different $e^+ e^-$ center-of-mass energies. The effects of the $\\pi\\pi$ rescattering are accounted for within a model-independent single channel approach which is found to explain the $\\pi \\pi$-invariant mass distributions at all $e^+ e^-$ center-of-mass energies. For $q= 4.226$ GeV and $q= 4.258$ GeV the already established charged exotic state $Z_c(3900)$ is considered as the intermediate state, whereas for $q= 4.358$ GeV the rescattering of pions dominates the fits. For the highest energy, $q= 4.416$ GeV, a heavier charged exotic state with mass $m_{Z_c} = 4.016(4)$ GeV and width $\\Gamma_{Z_c} = 52(10)$ MeV is essential to describe the experimental data. Although the mass of this state is consistent with the established $Z_c(4020)$, its width is significantly larger.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-20T11:50:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "invariant mass distribution", "two-pion final state interaction", "center-of-mass energies", "model-independent single channel approach", "charged exotic intermediate states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
