In-medium Properties of \eta' Meson

Abstract

Using the Crystal Barrel(CB)/TAPS detector system at the ELSA accelerator facility in Bonn the \eta' photoproduction off nuclei (C, Ca, Nb and Pb) was studied via the hadronic decay channel \eta' -> \pi^0\pi^0\eta . Recent results on the in-medium properties of the \eta'-meson, derived from the transparency ratio measurements, are presented. The absorption of the \eta'-meson in nuclear matter is compared to the properties of other mesons (\eta, \omega).
