Analysis of η-Meson Decays from the WASA Campaign at COSY — •Daniel Lersch for the WASA-at-COSY collaboration — Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany

A ppppη data sample has been acquired with the WASA-at-COSY facility at Forschungszentrum Jülich. A proton beam is accelerated with 1.4 GeV kinetic energy within the COSY storage ring towards a liquid hydrogen pellet target producing η-mesons. The η-decay products as well as the forward-scattered projectiles are detected within the 4π WASA-at-COSY detector. A first round of experiments was done with the pd3Heη reaction used for the study of the more abundant η decay channels and to set up the framework for a common analysis. In order to address also rare decays ∼109 η-mesons have been collected in the ppppη reaction.

The study of η-decays allows to probe symmetry-breaking phenomena (e.g. C- and CP-violation), to test theoretical calculations and to explore the anomalous sector of QCD. The current analysis of the ppppη data set is related to the charged decay modes of the η-meson: η→ π+ππ0 allows to probe quark mass ratios, η→ e+eγ and η→ e+ee+e serve to determine the electromagnetic transition form factor, the C-violating decay η→π0e+e, or the radiative decay η→π+πγ which is (in the chiral limit) sensitive to the box anomaly.

This talk will give an overview about the status of the analyses.
