Abstract

We look at the mass distribution of the in the decay, where a peak has been observed in the region of the , thresholds. By creating these two channels together with a in decay and letting them interact as coupled channels, we obtain a structure around their thresholds, short of producing a bound state, which leads to a peak in the mass distribution in the decay. We conclude that the interaction between the and is essential to produce the cusp structure that we associate to the recently seen , and that its experimental width is mainly due to the decay width of the meson. The peak obtained together with a smooth background reproduces fairly well the experimental mass distribution observed in the decay.
