Abstract

A multichannel calculation of excited states is carried out within a generalization of the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion, which may shed light on the classification of the resonance, discovered by BABAR and originally denoted X(2175). In this framework, a complete spectrum of bare states is coupled to those OZI-allowed decay channels that should be most relevant for the considered energy range. The included - and -wave two-meson channels comprise the lowest pseudoscalar, vector, scalar, and axial-vector mesons, while in the sector both the and states are coupled. The only two free parameters are tuned so as to reproduce mass and width of the , but come out reasonably close to previously used values. Among the model's -matrix poles, there are good candidates for observed resonances, as well other ones that should exist according to the quark model. Besides the expected resonances as unitarized confinement states, a dynamical resonance pole is found at MeV. The huge width makes its interpretation as the somewhat dubious, but further improvements of the model may change this conclusion.
