The mechanism proceeds via a triangular mechanism where the a(1)(1260) decays into K*K-, the K* decays to an external pi(+) and an internal K that fuses with the (K) over bar producing the f(0)(980) resonance. The mechanism develops a singularity at a mass of the a(1)(1260) around 1420 MeV, producing a peak in the cross section of the pp reaction, used to generate the mesonic final state, which provides a natural explanation of all the features observed in the COMPASS experiment, where a peak observed at this energy is tentatively associated to a new resonance called a(1)(1420). On the other hand, the triangular singularity studied here gives rise to a remarkable feature, where a peak is seen for a certain decay channel of a resonance at an energy about 200 MeV higher than its nominal mass.", optnote="WOS:000388824300007", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2912), last updated on Thu, 02 Feb 2017 09:20:23 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.94.096015", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.06893", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.94.096015", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1606.06893", language="English" }
