“…The total cross section for the pp → ppη reaction has been measured by a variety of groups [196,197,198,199,200,201,202,203,204] and the results are shown in Fig. 34 as a function of the excess energy Q = W − 2m p − m η , where W is the total centre-of-mass energy.…”

The production of η and η mesons in photon-and hadron-induced reactions on free and quasifree nucleons and on nuclei is reviewed. The extensive database on γN → ηN , for both proton and neutron targets, is described in detail and its implications for the search for N resonances much heavier than the dominant S 11 (1535) discussed. Though less is currently known about the production of the η or of ηπ pairs, these also offer tantalizing prospects in the search for the missing isobars. The more limited data available on pion-induced production are still necessary ingredients in the partial wave analysis discussed.The production of the η-meson in pp and pn collisions shows once again the strong influence of the S 11 (1535) isobar, which is in contrast to the relatively weak behaviour seen near threshold for η production. This difference is reflected in the important final state interaction effects of the η in nuclei that may even lead to this meson being "bound" in some systems. The evidence for this is reviewed for both γA and pA collisions. The inclusive photoproduction of η, η , and ηπ pairs from nuclei provides further information regarding the production mechanism and the interaction of the η and η with nuclei and the ηπ pairs may even allow access to low mass ηA systems that are forbidden in direct single-meson photoproduction.

S-wave η′-proton FSI; phenomenological analysis of near-threshold production of π0, η, and η′ mesons in proton-proton collisions

We describe a novel technique for comparing total cross sections for the reactions pp → ppπ 0 , pp → ppη, and pp → ppη ′ close to threshold. The initial and final state proton-proton interactions are factored out of the total cross section, and the dependence of this reduced cross section on the volume of phase space is discussed. Different models of the proton-proton interaction are compared. We argue that the scattering length of the S-wave η ′ -proton 1 interaction is of the order of 0.1 fm. PACS: 13.60. Le, 13.85.Lg, 29.20.Dh Typeset using REVT E X 2 New results on η and η ′ meson production in the reaction pp → ppX, measured very recently at the COSY-11 facility [1,2], together with previous data [3,4,5,6,7,8], determine the energy dependence of the near-threshold total cross section with a precision comparable to the measurements of the reaction pp → ppπ 0 [9,10]. These new data encouraged us to perform a phenomenological analysis similar to those of references [11,12,13]. Here we concentrate on π 0 , η, and η ′ meson production, and complete the analysis of these references by taking into account the interaction between the incident protons, and by introducing a new representation of the data. The production rates of π 0 , η, and η ′ mesons will be compared as a function of the available phase space. We will study the phase-space dependence of the quantity |M 0 | which is derived from the total cross section with the ISI and pp-FSI factored out. Consideration of the dependence of |M 0 | on phase space allows us to infer the η-proton and η ′ -proton interactions. To avoid large ambiguities due to differences in pp-FSI models, we normalize the |M 0 | for η and η ′ mesons to the one for the π 0 meson and show that the resulting η ′ -proton interaction is comparable to the π 0 -proton one.In general, the total cross section is presented as a function of the dimensionless parameter η M [9,10,12] 1 , which is defined as the maximum meson momentum in units of meson mass (η M = q max M ), or as a function of the center-of-mass excess energy Q [3,6,8], where nonrelativistically these variables are related by:with m p and M denoting the proton and meson mass, respectively. The above equationshows that the proportionality factor between the variables Q and η 2 M changes for different mesons, since the masses of the π 0 , η, and η ′ are distinct. Hence, depending which variable is selected, the relation between the cross section values changes for different mesons. For example, as shown in reference [4] the η meson production-cross-section exceeds the π 0 cross 1 In order to avoid ambiguities with the abbreviation for the eta-meson, we introduce an additional suffix M for this parameter, which usually is called η.3 section by about a factor of five using η M , whereas the π 0 meson cross section is always larger when employing the Q scale.The total cross section for pp → ppX is in general an integral over phase space, weighted by the square of the transition matrix element and normalized to the incoming fl...
