Beam asymmetry for the photoproduction of and mesons at
Abstract
In this work, we report on the measurement of the beam asymmetry $$\Sigma$$ for the reactions $$\vec{\gamma}p\rightarrow p\eta$$ and $$\vec{\gamma}p \rightarrow p\eta^{\prime}$$ from the GlueX experiment, using an 8.2–8.8-GeV linearly polarized tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target in Hall D at Jefferson Lab. These measurements are made as a function of momentum transfer $-t$, with significantly higher statistical precision than our earlier $$\eta$$ measurements, and are the first measurements of $$\eta^{\prime}$$ in this energy range. We compare the results to theoretical predictions based on $t$--channel quasi-particle exchange. Furthermore, we compare the ratio of $$\Sigma_{\eta}$$ to $$\Sigma_{\eta^{\prime}}$$ to these models, as this ratio is predicted to be sensitive to the amount of $$s\bar{s}$$ exchange in the production. We find that photoproduction of both $$\eta$$ and $$\eta^{\prime}$$ is dominated by natural parity exchange with little dependence on $-t$.
