First Measurement of the Σ Beam Asymmetry in η' Photoproduction off the Proton near Threshold

First measurement of the Σ beam asymmetry in η’ photoproduction off the proton near threshold
Abstract

The Σ beam asymmetry in η’ photoproduction off the proton was measured at the GRAAL polarized photon beam with incoming photon energies of 1.461 and 1.480 GeV. For both energies the asymmetry as a function of the meson emission angle shows a clear structure, more pronounced at the lowest one, with a change of sign around 90°. The results are compared to the existing theories that fail to account for the data.
