In particular, the experiments have reported two different hybrid candidates with spin-exotic signature, 𝜋1⁡(1400) and 𝜋1⁡(1600), which couple separately to 𝜂⁢𝜋 and 𝜂′⁢𝜋. This picture is not compatible with recent Lattice QCD estimates for hybrid states, nor with most phenomenological models. We consider the recent partial wave analysis of the 𝜂(′)⁢𝜋 system by the COMPASS Collaboration. We fit the extracted intensities and phases with a coupled-channel amplitude that enforces the unitarity and analyticity of the 𝑆 matrix. We provide a robust extraction of a single exotic 𝜋1 resonant pole, with mass and width 1564 ±24 ±86 and 492 ±54 ±102  MeV, which couples to both 𝜂(′)⁢𝜋 channels. We find no evidence for a second exotic state. We also provide the resonance parameters of the 𝑎2⁡(1320) and 𝑎′ 2⁡(1700).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDetermination of the Pole Position of the Lightest Hybrid Meson Candidateartículo
