Quasi-elastic (z >0.95) photo-production of psi' mesons has been observed at HERA for photon-proton centre-of-mass energies in the range 40 to 160 GeV. The psi' mesons were identified through their decays to l+l- and to J/psi pi+ pi-, where the J/psi subsequently decays to l+l-, the lepton l being either a muon or an electron. The cross-section for quasi-elastic photoproduction was measured to be [18.0 +- 2.8 (stat) +- 3.0(syst)] nb at a photon-proton centre-of-mass energy of 80 GeV. The ratio of the psi' to J/psi quasi-elastic cross-sections is 0.150 +- 0.027 (stat) +- 0.022 (syst).

Absorption of $\psi(2S)$ mesons in nuclei
nucl-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

Near-threshold photoproduction of ψ(2S) mesons on nuclei is predicted to show measurable sensitivity to the unknown ψ(2S)-nucleon absorption cross section, motivating measurements at an upgraded CEBAF.
