Abstract

We investigate the strong decay $J / ψ \to ρ^{+} ρ^{-} ω$ and the radiative decay $J / ψ \to γ ρ^{0} ω$ , taking into account the $S$ -wave $K^{*} {\bar{K}}^{*}$ , $ρ ω$ and $ρ ϕ$ final-state interactions, which dynamically generate the scalar meson $a_{0} (1710)$ . Our results demonstrate that a clear peak structure emerges around 1.8 GeV in the $ρ^{+} ω$ ( $ρ^{-} ω$ ) invariant mass distribution of the strong decay, which can be associated with the $a_{0} (1710)$ resonance. Similarly, a distinct peak is predicted in the $ρ^{0} ω$ invariant mass distribution of the radiative decay. Our results indicate that clear signals of $a_{0} (1710)$ production could be observed in future measurements of these processes at BESIII, Belle II, and the planned Super Tau-Charm Facility, thereby helping to determine its mass and width more precisely.
