Observation of two non-leading strangeness-one vector mesons

Description

We present evidence for the existence of two strange Jsup(P)=1- mesons; one at 1410 MeV/c2 coupling principally to Ksup(*)(892)π, and the other at 1790 MeV/c2 coupling to Kπ, Ksup(*)π and rhoK. The data derive from a partial wave analysis of the anti K0π+π- system produced in the reaction K-p -> anti K0π+π-n at 11 GeV/c. The production mechanism and quark model assignment of each state are discussed. The state at 1410 MeV/c2 is most naturally understood as the first radial excitation of the Ksup(*)(892), and the 1790 MeV/c2 object can be interpreted as the triplet D wave partner to the 3- Ksup(*)(1780).
