An amplitude analysis of an exclusive sample of 5765 events from the reaction pi- p-->eta'pi- p at 18 GeV/c is described. The eta'pi- production is dominated by natural parity exchange and by three partial waves: those with J(PC) = 1(-+), 2(++), and 4(++). A mass-dependent analysis of the partial-wave amplitudes indicates the production of the a2(1320) meson as well as the a4(2040) meson, observed for the first time decaying to eta'pi-. The dominant, exotic (non- qq) 1(-+) partial wave is shown to be resonant with a mass of 1.597+/-0.010(+0.045)(-0.010) GeV/c2 and a width of 0.340+/-0.040+/-0.050 GeV/c2. This exotic state, the pi1(1600), is produced with a t dependence which is different from that of the a2(1320) meson, indicating differences between the production mechanisms for the two states.
描述了对反应π⁻p→η'π⁻p在18 GeV/c下5765个事例的一个专属样本进行的幅度分析。η'π⁻产生主要由自然宇称交换以及三个分波主导:那些具有J(PC)=1⁻⁺、2⁺⁺和4⁺⁺的分波。对分波幅度的质量依赖分析表明了a₂(1320)介子以及a₄(2040)介子的产生,首次观测到a₄(2040)介子衰变为η'π⁻。占主导地位的奇特(非qq)1⁻⁺分波被证明在质量为1.597±0.010(+0.045)(-0.010) GeV/c²且宽度为0.340±0.040±0.050 GeV/c²处发生共振。这个奇特态,即π₁(1600),其产生的t依赖性与a₂(1320)介子不同,表明这两个态的产生机制存在差异。
