Revealing the inner structure of the newly observed ${\eta }_1(1855)$ via photoproduction

Abstract

Very recently, a new hadronic exotic state ${\eta }_1(1855)$ at the invariant mass spectrum of $\eta {\eta }^{{}^{\prime }}$ was observed by the BESIII Collaboration. According to its properties, such as the spectroscopy and decay width, the ${\eta }_1(1855)$ have been suggested to be a compact multi-quark state, a hadron molecule, or a hybrid meson. In order to distinguish the various interpretations of the ${\eta }_1(1855)$, a Reggeized model combined with the vector dominance model for ${\eta }_1(1855)$ photoproduction on the proton target is presented. If the ${\eta }_1(1855)$ is a $s\bar{s}g$ hybrid meson, the ${\eta }_1(1855)$ can be produced though the Primakoff effect. However, the ${\eta }_1(1855)$ photoproduction is dominated by the $t$-channel vector mesons $\rho$, $\omega$, and $\varphi$ exchange by assuming ${\eta }_1(1855)$ as an $S$-wave $K{\bar{K}}_1(1400)$ molecular state. Our calculations show that the total cross section of the ${\eta }_1(1855)$ production via $\gamma p$ reaction can reach up to 0.115 pb, about 0.0124$\%$ of the total cross section obtained by considering the ${\eta }_1(1855)$ as an $S$-wave $K{\bar{K}}_1(1400)$ molecule. We also find their line shapes are sizably different. If the ${\eta }_1(1855)$ is a molecular state, the photoproduction of ${\eta }_1(1855)$ near the threshold offers a nice place to test its molecular nature. However, it should be better to take high energy, at least above $E_{\gamma }=16.97$ GeV, to observe the production of ${\eta }_1(1855)$ if ${\eta }_1(1855)$ is a $s\bar{s}g$ hybrid meson. These results can be measured in the GlueX experiment or Electron-Ion Collider in China to test the nature of the ${\eta }_1(1855)$.
