Abstract

To decode the near-threshold dynamics of the and states, we investigate the OZI-suppressed coupled-channel scattering in decays using the effective range expansion. We demonstrate that the , associated with a dip in the lineshape, corresponds to a dynamically generated pole near the threshold. The single-channel scattering length is extracted to be , yielding an effective scattering length of when coupled channels are included. By treating the spin-spin interaction as a subleading effect, we predict a virtual state near the threshold, which naturally resolves the empirical ambiguities surrounding the width. Extending this framework via heavy quark spin symmetry, we further interpret the as a hadronic molecule. Ultimately, these findings highlight how the family and serve as unique theoretical windows into the Fierz rearrangement and OZI suppression mechanisms in low-energy strong interactions.
