Abstract

The production of $$$$\eta ^{(\prime )}\pi $$$$ η ( ) π pairs constitutes one of the golden channels to search for hybrid exotics, with explicit gluonic degrees of freedom. Understanding the dynamics and backgrounds associated to $$$$\eta ^{(\prime )}\pi $$$$ η ( ) π production above the resonance region is required to impose additional constraints to the resonance extraction. We consider the reaction $$$$\pi ^-p\rightarrow \eta ^{(\prime )} \pi ^- \,p$$$$ π - p η ( ) π - p measured by COMPASS. We show that the data in $$$$2.4< m_{\eta ^{(\prime )}\pi } < 3.0{\mathrm {\,GeV}} $$$$ 2.4 < m η ( ) π < 3.0 GeV can be described by amplitudes based on double-Regge exchanges. The angular distribution of the meson pairs, in particular in the $$$$\eta ' \pi $$$$ η π channel, can be attributed to flavor singlet exchanges, suggesting the presence of a large gluon content that couples strongly to the produced mesons.
