The η′ meson structure, width and interaction with nucleons investigated at the COSY–11 facility — •Eryk Czerwiński1,2, Paweł Moskal1,2, Joanna Klaja1,2, and Paweł Klaja1,2 — 1Institut für Kernphysik and Jülich Center for Hadron Physics, Forschungszentrum Jülich, D-52425 Jülich, Germany — 2Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland
Recent results of studies on the properties of the η′ meson with the COSY–11 facility will be presented and discussed. In particular, new results on the isospin dependence of the η′ production cross section in nucleon-nucleon collisions will be discussed in view of the η′ meson structure. Next, the results of comparative analysis of the invariant mass distributions for the pp→ ppη′ and pp→ ppη reactions will be shown in the context of the proton-eta and proton-eta-prime interaction. Finally, the value of the total width of the η′ meson will be reported as derived directly from the measurement of the mass distribution. The presentation of the results will include an explanation of the experimental technique used on order to achieve a precision about an order of magnitude better then former experiments.
