Some properties of the newly observed X(1835) state at BES
  Recently the BES collaboration has announced observation of a resonant state in the $\pi^+\pi^- \eta'$ spectrum in $J/\psi \to \gamma \pi^+\pi^-\eta'$ decay. Fitting the data with a $0^{-+}$ state, the mass is determined to be 1833.7 MeV with $7.7\sigma$ statistic significance. This state is consistent with the one extracted from previously reported $p \bar p$ threshold enhancement data in $J/\psi \to \gamma p \bar p$. We study the properties of this state using QCD anomaly and QCD sum rules assuming X(1835) to be a pseudoscalar and show that it is consistent with data. We find that this state has a sizeable matrix element $<0|G\tilde G|G_p>$ leading to branching ratios of $(2.61\sim 7.37)\times 10^{-3}$ and $(2.21\sim 10.61)\times 10^{-2}$ for $J/\psi \to \gamma G_p$ and for $G_p \to \pi^+\pi^- \eta'$, respectively. Combining the calculated branching ratio of $J/\psi \to \gamma G_p$ and data on threshold enhancement in $J/\psi \to \gamma p \bar p$, we determine the coupling for $G_p- p-\bar p$ interaction. We finally study branching ratios of other $J/\psi \to \gamma + {three mesons}$ decay modes. We find that $J/\psi \to \gamma G_p \to \gamma (\pi^+\pi^- \eta, K K \pi^0)$ can provide useful tests for the mechanism proposed.
