Abstract
Based on a sample of (10.09±0.04)×109 J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, a partial wave analysis of the decay J/ψ→γηη′ is performed. An isoscalar state with exotic quantum numbers JPC=1-+, denoted as η1(1855), has been observed for the first time with statistical significance larger than 19σ. Its mass and width are measured to be (1855±9-1+6) MeV/c2 and (188±18-8+3) MeV, respectively. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The product branching fraction B(J/ψ→γη1(1855))B(η1(1855)→ηη′) is measured to be (2.70±0.41-0.35+0.16)×10-6. In addition, an upper limit on the ratio of branching fractions B(f0(1710)→ηη′)/B(f0(1710)→ππ) is determined to be 1.61×10-3 at 90% confidence level, which lends support to the hypothesis that the f0(1710) has a large glueball component.
