Abstract
The BESIII Collaboration has recently reported a new resonance structure in the cross-section analyses of the and processes, displaying characteristics akin to an -meson. However, its measured mass, , significantly deviates from the predictions of the unquenched relativized potential model for conventional vector meson spectroscopy. To address this discrepancy, we propose a - mixing scheme and investigate the corresponding decay properties within this framework. Our analysis demonstrates that the mixed state exhibits excellent agreement with the observed resonance, not only in mass and width but also in the products of its dielectron width and branching ratios, and . The determined mixing angle, , strongly supports the interpretation of this structure as the state. Furthermore, we predict dominant decay channels for and its partner state . These predictions, together with the proposed mixing mechanism, provide crucial guidance for future experimental studies aimed at probing this structure and rigorously testing the - mixing hypothesis.
