The differential cross section for η production in reaction π−p→ηn has been measured over the full angular range at seven incident π− beam momenta from threshold to pπ−=747 MeV/c using the Crystal Ball multiphoton spectrometer. The angular distributions are S wave dominated. At 10 MeV/c above threshold, a small D-wave contribution appears that interferes with the main S wave. The total η production cross section σtot is obtained by integration of dσ/dΩ. Starting at threshold, σtot rises rapidly, as expected for S-wave-dominated production. The features of the π−p→ηn cross section are strikingly similar to those of the SU(3) flavor-related process K−p→ηΛ. Comparison of the π−p→ηn reaction is made with η photoproduction.

Polarization Parameters in the Reactions $\pi^- p$ (Polarized) $\to \eta n$ and $\pi^- p$ (Polarized) $\to \eta^\prime n$ at 40-{GeV}/$c$

The polarization parameter in the reactions π−p→ηn and π−p→η′n at 40 GeV/c with −t ranging from 0 to 2.6 (GeV/c)2 and 1.0 (GeV/c)2, respectively, was measured in experiments using a propanediol polarized target. Only gamma particles from the neutral meson decay were detected. The polarization parameter of the first reaction turns out to be negative in a widet interval (0.05<−t<1.6 (GeV/c)2) and probably changes its sign at larger values oft. The average value of the polarization parameter of the second reaction is equal to −17±8)% in the region 0.05<−t<0.5 (GeV/c)2.

In a scintillation-counter experiment, we have observed two narrow, neutral mesons in addition to the well-established η′ (958) in the reaction π−p→M0n at 2.4 GeVc. We observe a mass of 940.5 ± 1.7 MeV, Γ<10.4 MeV for the M0(940), and a mass of 962.9 ± 1.7 MeV, Γ<5.9 MeV for the δ0.
