摘要:
We discuss the sensitivity of eta and eta' photoproduction near threshold to the gluonic OZI breaking parameters in the U-A(1)-extended effective chiral Lagrangian for low-energy QCD. Our coupled-channels analysis hints at a strong correlation between the gluon-induced contributions to the eta' mass and the low-energy pp --> pp eta' reaction and the near-threshold behaviour of the gammap --> etap cross section, (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
