Abstract

To investigate the interaction between the nucleon N and nucleon resonance N(1535)1/2-, the ηd threshold structure connected to the isoscalar S-wave N-N(1535)1/2- system has been experimentally studied in the γd→π0ηd reaction at incident photon energies ranging from the reaction threshold to 1.15 GeV. A strong enhancement is observed near the ηd threshold over the three-body phase-space contribution in the ηd invariant-mass distribution. An analysis incorporating the known isovector resonance D12 with a spin parity of 2+ in the π0d channel reveals the existence of a narrow isoscalar resonance-like structure with 1- in the ηd system. Using a Flatté parametrization, the mass is found to be 2.427-0.006+0.013 GeV, close to the ηd threshold, and the width is (0.029-0.029+0.006GeV)+(0.00-0.00+0.41)pηc, where pη denotes the η momentum in the rest frame of the ηd system. The observed structure would be attributed to a predicted isoscalar 1-ηNN bound state from ηNN and πNN coupled-channel calculation, or an ηd virtual state owing to strong ηd attraction.
