In summary, the axial version of the phi meson refers to a theoretical framework that extends the understanding of this particle by incorporating axial vector interactions. This version explores the properties and behaviors of the phi meson in the context of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and its interactions with other particles. The study of the axial phi meson helps enhance the comprehension of hadronic physics and the symmetries governing particle interactions, particularly in relation to the strong force.

TL;DR Summary
Is there any information regarding the existence of an axial vector version of the phi meson ?
I only know of the Phi vector meson which is ##s\bar{s}## which has J=1, P=-. I am looking for its axial vector version (dont know by what name it should go) ie J=1, P=+.
More specifically I am looking for any data associated with it eg its LCDAs, decay constant, mass. I am not sure I can see such data in the PDG listings.

The φ is in a 3S1 state. It's partner is therefore in a 1S0 state, which is pseudoscalar. Not an axial vector.

PS This is covered in the reference last time you asked a similar question. If you don't read it, how will you learn what is in it?

That thread is still closed "pending results of a misinformation investigation" about whether or not axial vector and pseudo scalar meson quark content are definitively known.
And I did go through the PDG lists back then but I really cant find any such information there regarding quark contents of the different mesons or their LCDA functions or decay constants.
Perhaps im not looking in the right place ?

Could you explain this point a bit or give me a reading reference, preferably a textbook ?
Im not familiar with this system of classifying states that you speak of.

See Section 8, "A Naming Scheme for Hadrons", particularly Table 8.1.

That's all the spoon-feeding I intend to do. If you have more questions, show me you have done your part.
