Study of the Reaction $\gamma p \rightarrow \eta' \eta p$

ORAL

Abstract

The GlueX experiment uses a beam of linearly polarized photons with a coherent peak near 9 GeV incident on a fixed hydrogen target. The preliminary analysis presented here considers the final state \(\eta'\eta\) which decays to 4\(\gamma\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\). This channel is motivated by the exotic \(\pi_{1}(1600)\) since it has a strong observation in \(\eta'\pi\). The \(\pi_{1}(1600)\) has isoscalar partners, the \(\eta_{1}\) and \(\eta_{1}^\prime\), which could possibly be observed in \(\eta'\eta\). General features of the data including data selection, mass spectra, and intermediate states will be presented along with plans for future studies.
