J/ψ DECAYS AND η-η′-ι MIXING
The mass region near η(1440) has more than one resonance, and two resonances with M≈1420 MeV and M≈1490 MeV are shown to give a better description of the recent experimental data. We investigate whether η(1420) or η(1490) is the glueball, if it exists, and which of them is the isospin 0 partner of the radially excited state η(1295) expected to exist near the 1500–1600 MeV region. We study the J/ψ→VP and Pγ decays, using the new data of 1992, to estimate the mixing among (η, η′, ι), where ι refers to the glueball, and obtain the result that the N component in ι is larger than the S component. Comparing the N and S components in ι with the N and S components in η(1420) and η(1490) obtained from their decaying pattern, we conjecture that the low mass state η(1420) is the glueball and the high mass state η(1490) is the radial excitation state. We discuss the relation between the mass formulae for the pseudoscalar mesons and the mixing among (η, η′, ι) obtained considering the chiral perturbation theory and the chiral U(3) × U(3) symmetry formulation.
