The K-p → π0π0Σ0 reaction is studied within a chiral unitary model. The distribution of π0Σ0 states forming the Λ(1405) shows, in agreement with a recent experiment, a peak at 1420 MeV and a relatively narrow width of Γ = 38 MeV. We use these data in combination with those of the π-p → K0πΣ reaction and elements of chiral unitary theory to prove that there are two Λ(1405) states instead of one as so far assumed. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
