New experimental approaches to determine the real part of the η^′-nucleus potential^⋆ — •Mariana Nanova — II. Physikalisches Institut, Justus Liebig Universität Giessen

Transparency ratio measurements provide information on the inelastic cross section and in-medium width of η^′ and thereby on the imaginary part of the η^′-nucleus potential [1]. The real part of the η^′-nucleus optical potential can be deduced from the measurement of the η^′ excitation function and of the η^′ momentum distribution which are sensitive to the sign and depth of the potential. Data taken in 2009 at CB/TAPS@ELSA on a carbon target have been analysed. The results are compared to model calculations [2] assuming different scenarios for the real part of the potential, related directly to the in-medium mass modification of the meson. The data are consistent with a weakly attractive η^′-nucleus potential.
