abstract

We investigate wide-angle photoproduction of the $\eta'$ meson within the handbag approach to twist-3 accuracy. It turns out that, due to the gluon content of the $\eta'$, this process is dominated by twist-2 in contrast with pion and $\eta$ photoproduction. Using the presently available information on the twist-2 and twist-3 distribution amplitudes and on the $\eta - \eta'$ mixing, we provide prediction for the $\eta'$ cross section and helicity correlations. It is argued that $\eta'$ photoproduction is well suited to improve our knowledge of the two-gluon distribution amplitude.

  1. Central exclusive production of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons in diffractive proton-proton collisions at the LHC within the tensor-pomeron approach

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The tensor-pomeron model predicts 0.3 to 0.7 microbarn cross sections for central eta-prime production at the LHC, and shows that scalar-pomeron models forbid eta, eta-prime, and f1 production entirely.
