Description
Recently structures in invariant mass distributions and excitation energy spectra have been attributed to triangular singularities as discussed in e.g.,[1,2] and in the review by Guo et al. [3]. These singularities emerge under specific kinematic conditions when new reaction channels open up. It will be shown that a triangular singularity associated with the opening of the γ p →p a0 → p π0 η
channel may explain a structure in the Mpη invariant mass distribution near 1700 MeV/c2 observed in the γ p → p π0 η reaction [4].
