Measurement of the and Dalitz decays with the A2 setup at the Mainz Microtron
Abstract
The Dalitz decays η → e+e-γ and ω → π0e+e- have been measured in the γp → ηp and γp → ωp reactions, respectively, with the A2 tagged-photon facility at the Mainz Microtron. The value obtained for the slope parameter of the electromagnetic transition form factor of η, Λ$$-2\atop{η}$$ = (1.97 ± 0.11tot) GeV-2, is in good agreement with previous measurements of the η → e+e-γ and η → μ+μ-γ decays. The uncertainty obtained in the value of Λ$$-2\atop{η}$$ is lower than in previous results based on the η → e+e-γ decay. The value obtained for the ω slope parameter, Λ$$-2\atop{ωπ^0}$$ = (1.99 ± 0.21tot) GeV-2, is somewhat lower than previous measurements based on ω → π0μ+μ-, but the results for the ω transition form factor are in better agreement with theoretical calculations, compared to earlier experiments.
