Measurement of the decay η′→π0π0η at MAMI
2018
An experimental study of the η0 → π0π0η → 6γ decay has been conducted with the best up-to-date
statistical accuracy, by measuring η0 mesons produced in the γp → η0
p reaction with the A2 tagged-photon
facility at the Mainz Microtron, MAMI. The results obtained for the standard parametrization of the
η0 → π0π0η matrix element are consistent with the most recent results for η0 → ππη decays, but have
smaller uncertainties. The available statistics and experimental resolution allowed, for the first time, an
observation of a structure below the πþπ− mass threshold, the magnitude and sign of which, checked within
the framework of the nonrelativistic effective-field theory, demonstrated good agreement with the cusp that
was predicted based on the ππ scattering length combination, a0 − a2, extracted from K → 3π decays.
