Determination of the total width of the η' meson.

چکیده
Taking advantage of both the low-emittance proton beam of the cooler synchrotron COSY and the high momentum precision of the COSY-11 detector system, the mass distribution of the η' meson was measured with a resolution of 0.33 MeV/c2 (FWHM), improving the experimental mass resolution by almost an order of magnitude with respect to previous results. Based on the sample of more than 2300 reconstructed pp → ppη' events, the total width of the η' meson was determined to be Γ(η') = 0.226 ± 0.017(stat) ± 0.014(syst) MeV/c2.

Direct Determination of the Total Width of the Η Meson Using the Cosy–11 Apparatus
Inputs for the phenomenological desription of Quantum Chromo-Dynamics in the non-perturbative regime [1] can be provided from studies of the η meson production [2] and its decays [3]. Such investigations are of interest on its own account and are planned to be conducted with WASAat-COSY [4], KLOE-2 [5] and CBall-at-MAMI [6] experiments. In addition, precise determinations of the partial widths ...
متن کاملA global fit to determine the pseudoscalar mixing angle and the gluonium content of the η ’ meson
We update the values of the η-η mixing angle and of the η gluonium content by fitting our measurement Rφ = BR(φ → ηγ)/BR(φ → ηγ) together with several vector meson radiative decays to pseudoscalars (V → Pγ), pseudoscalar mesons radiative decays to vectors (P → V γ) and the η → γγ, π0 → γγ widths. From the fit we extract a gluonium fraction of Z2 G = 0.12±0.04, the pseudoscalar mixing angle ψP =...
متن کاملEstimates for parameters and characteristics of the confining SU(3)-gluonic field in an η′-meson
The confinement mechanism proposed earlier by the author is applied to estimate the possible parameters of the confining SU(3)-gluonic field in an η-meson. For this aim the electric form factor of an η-meson is nonperturbatively computed in an explicit analytic form. The estimates obtained are also consistent with the width of the electromagnetic decay η → 2γ. The corresponding estimates of the...
متن کاملA Natural Candidate of η′’s Second Radial Excitation
Recently BES collaboration observed one interesting resonance X(1835). We point out that its mass, total width, production rate and decay pattern favor its assignment as the second radial excitation of η′ meson very naturally. PACS number: 12.39.Mk, 13.25.Jx, 11.30.Er

We study the η → 2γ decay using an extended three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model that includes the 't Hooft instanton induced interaction. The η meson mass and the η → 2γ decay width are reproduced simultaneously with a rather strong instanton induced interaction. The calculated η decay constant is f η = 2.23f π and it suggests that the η meson is no longer the Goldstone boson.
