Description

We study the structure of the baryon resonances Λ(1405) and Λ(1405) in J/ψ four-body decays J/ψ→ΣΣππ in the framework of a coupled channel chiral unitary approach. With still sufficient freedom for model parameters, the Λ(1405) and Λ(1405) resonances are generated by simultaneously taking the meson baryon and meson antibaryon final state interactions into account. The πΣ (πΣ) invariant mass distributions peak around 1410 MeV, which favors the assertion that the Λ(1405) [Λ(1405)] is a superposition of the two Λ(1405) [Λ(1405)] states which dominantly couple to KN (KN) and πΣ (πΣ), respectively. We also calculate the amplitude for isospin I=1 which gives hints of a possible I=1 baryon resonance in the energy region of the Λ(1405), which up to now has not been observed
