Title: A dispersive analysis of $$$$\varvec{\eta '\rightarrow \pi ^+\pi ^-\gamma }$$$$ and $$$$\varvec{\eta '\rightarrow \ell ^+\ell ^-\gamma }$$$$

Abstract

Abstract We present a dispersive representation of the $$$$\eta '$$$$ η transition form factor that allows one to account, in a consistent way, for the effects of $$$$\rho $$$$ ρ – $$$$\omega $$$$ ω mixing in both the isoscalar and the isovector contributions. Using this formalism, we analyze recent data on $$$$\eta '\rightarrow \pi ^+\pi ^-\gamma $$$$ η π + π - γ to constrain the isovector part of the form factor, individually and in combination with data for the pion vector form factor, which suggests a tension in the $$$$\rho $$$$ ρ – $$$$\omega $$$$ ω mixing parameter. As a first application, we use our results, in combination with the most recent input for the isoscalar part of the form factor, to predict the corresponding spectrum of $$$$\eta '\rightarrow \ell ^+\ell ^-\gamma $$$$ η + - γ , in particular we find the slope parameter $$$$b_{\eta '}=1.455(24)\,\text {GeV}^{-2}$$$$ b η = 1.455 ( 24 ) GeV - 2 . With forthcoming data on the latter process, our results establish the necessary framework to improve the evaluation of the $$$$\eta '$$$$ η -pole contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using experimental input from both $$$$\eta '$$$$ η decay channels.
