Final-state interaction phase difference in $J/\psi\to\rho\eta$ and $\omega\eta$ decays

Abstract

It is shown that the study of the $\omega-\rho^0$ interference pattern in the $J/\psi\to (\rho^0+\omega)\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\eta$ decay provides the evidence for the large (nearly $90^\circ$) relative phase between the one-photon and the three-gluon decay amplitudes.Comment: 5 pages, revtex, \tightenlines, a version published in Phys.
