The Kappa in J/Psi -> Kpplus-piminus-Kminus-piplus
Abstract
BES II data for J/Psi->K*(890)Kpi reveal a strong kappa peak in the Kpi S-wave near threshold. Both magnitude and phase are determined in slices of Kpi mass by interferences with strong Ko(1430), K1(1270) and K1(1400) signals. The phase variation with mass agrees within errors with LASS data for Kpi elastic scattering. A combined fit is presented to both BES and LASS data. The fit uses a Breit-Wigner amplitude with an s-dependent width containing an Adler zero. The kappa pole is at 760+-20(stat)+-40(syst) - i(420+-45+-60syst) MeV. The S-wave I=0 scattering length a0 = 0.23+-0.04 (in units of m(pi)) is close to the prediction 0.19+-0.02 of Chiral Perturbation Theory.
