possible N* and *states listed in PDG are fitted N(1720), N(1900), (1520), (1690), …

many different combinations are tried

different form factors are used

different JP of Nx is tried

An abnormal enhancement is observed in the mass threshold of MK

Its mass and width:

(large uncertainty near threshold, high statistics is crucial!)Mass 1500~1650MeV

Width 70~110MeV

JP favors 1/2-

large BR(J/pNx)Br(NxK) (2*10-4). What is it??

Possibly N*(1535) with large coupling to K K molecular state ??

Light Scalar Mesons:

σ, κ, f0(980), f0(1370),

f0(1500), f0(1710), f0(1790)

13

Why are light scalar mesons interesting?

There have been hot debates on the existence of and .

Lattice QCD predicts the 0++ scalar glueball mass from 1.5 - 1.7 GeV. f0(1500) and f0(1710) are good candidates.

f0(1710) in J/

Two scalars in J/ :

One is around 1470 MeV, may be f0(1500)?

The other is around 1765 MeV, is it f0(1790) or f0(1710) or a mixture of f0(1710) and f0(1790)?
