For $\mathit I = 1$ (${{\mathit \pi}}$, ${{\mathit b}}$, ${{\mathit \rho}}$, ${{\mathit a}}$): ${\mathit {\mathit u}}$ ${\mathit {\overline{\mathit d}}}$, (${\mathit {\mathit u}}$ ${\mathit {\overline{\mathit u}}}−{\mathit {\mathit d}}$ ${\mathit {\overline{\mathit d}}})/\sqrt {2 }$, ${\mathit {\mathit d}}$ ${\mathit {\overline{\mathit u}}}$;
for $\mathit I = 0$ (${{\mathit \eta}}$, ${{\mathit \eta}^{\,'}}$, ${{\mathit h}}$, ${{\mathit h}^{\,'}}$, ${{\mathit \omega}}$, ${{\mathit \phi}}$, ${{\mathit f}}$, ${{\mathit f}^{\,'}}$): ${\mathit {\mathit c}}_{{\mathrm {1}}}({{\mathit u}}{{\overline{\mathit u}}}$ $+$ ${{\mathit d}}{{\overline{\mathit d}}}$) $+$ ${\mathit {\mathit c}}_{{\mathrm {2}}}({{\mathit s}}{{\overline{\mathit s}}}$)

${{\mathit \pi}_{{{1}}}{(1600)}}$ $I^G(J^{PC})$ = $1^-(1^{- +})$

Coupled channel analyses favor the existence of only one broad ${}^{}1{}^{-+}$ isovector state consistent with ${{\mathit \pi}_{{{1}}}{(1600)}}$ in the $1400 - 1600$ MeV region. Accordingly, the ${{\mathit \pi}_{{{1}}}{(1400)}}$ entries of the previous Reviews have been moved into this section. See the review on "Spectroscopy of Light Meson Resonances."
