Unveiling the $K_1(1270)$ double-pole structure in the $\bar{B}\to J/\psi \rho \bar{K}$ and $\bar{B}\to J/\psi {\bar{K}}^{\ast }\pi$ decays

Abstract

By looking at the pseudoscalar-vector meson spectra in the $\bar{B}\to J/\psi \rho \bar{K}$ and $\bar{B}\to J/\psi {\bar{K}}^{\ast }\pi$ weak decays, we theoretically investigate the double-pole structure of the $K_1(1270)$ resonance by using the Chiral Unitary approach to account for the final state interactions between the pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The $K_1(1270)$ resonance appears as dynamically generated through these interactions in coupled channels and influence the shape of the invariant mass distributions under consideration. We show how those shapes are affected by the $K_1(1270)$ double-pole structure to confront the results from our model with future experiments that might investigate the $PV$ spectra in these decays.
