The Dalitz decays eta -> e^+e^-g and omega -> pi^0 e^+e^- have been measured in the g p -> eta p and g p -> omega p reactions, respectively, with the A2 tagged-photon facility at the Mainz Microtron, MAMI. The value obtained for the slope parameter of the electromagnetic transition form factor of eta, Lambda^{-2}_eta=(1.97+/-0.11_tot) GeV^{-2}, is in good agreement with previous measurements of the eta -> e^+e^-g and eta -> mu^+mu^-g decays. The uncertainty obtained in the value of Lambda^{-2}_eta is lower than in previous results based on the eta -> e^+e^-g decay. The value obtained for the omega slope parameter, Lambda^{-2}_omega_pi^0 = (1.99+/-0.21_tot) GeV^{-2}, is somewhat lower than previous measurements based on omega -> pi^0 mu^+mu^-, but the results for the omega transition form factor are in better agreement with theoretical calculations, compared to earlier experiments.

The Dalitz decay pi^0 -> e^+e^-gamma has been measured in the gamma p -> pi^0 p reaction with the A2 tagged-photon facility at the Mainz Microtron, MAMI. The value obtained for the slope parameter of the pi^0 electromagnetic transition form factor, a_pi = 0.030+/-0.010_tot, is in agreement with existing measurements of this decay and with recent theoretical calculations. The uncertainty obtained in the value of a_pi is lower than in previous results based on the pi^0 -> e^+e^-gamma decay.
A search for the rare decay $eta^{prime} to e^+e^-$ has been performed with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The inverse reaction $e^+e^- to eta^{prime}$ and $eta^{prime}$ five decay chains have been used for this search. The upper limit $Gamma_{eta^{prime} to e^+e^-}<0.002$ eV at the 90% confidence level has been set. A sensitivity of SND in a search for $eta to e^+e^-$ decay has been studied. For this perpose we have analyzed a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 108 nb$^{-1}$ collected in the center-of-mass energy range 520-580 MeV. There are no background events for the reaction $e^+e^- to eta$ with decay $eta to pi^0pi^0pi^0$ have been found. In the absence of background, a sensitivity to $B(eta to e^+e^-)$ of 10$^{-6}$ can be reached during two weeks of VEPP-2000 operation.
The reaction pd->3He eta at threshold was used to provide a clean source of eta mesons for decay studies with the WASA detector at CELSIUS. The branching ratio of the decay eta->pi+pi-e+e- is measured to be (4.3+/-1.3+/-0.4)x10^-4.
Based on a sample of 225.3 million J/psi events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII, the decays of eta to pi+pi-l+l- are studied via J/psi to gammaeta. A clear eta signal is observed in the pi+pi-e+e- mass spectrum, and the branching fraction is measured to be BR(eta to pi+pi-e+e-) = (2.11pm0.12 (stat.)pm0.15 (syst.))times10^{-3}, which is in good agreement with theoretical predictions and the previous measurement, but is determined with much higher precision. No eta signal is found in the pi+ pi- mu+ mu- mass spectrum, and the upper limit is determined to be BR(eta to pi+ pi- mu+ mu-)<2.9times10^{-5} at the 90% confidence level.
We report the first observation of the Dalitz decay $eta to gamma e^+e^-$, based on a data sample of 1.31 billion $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector. The $eta$ mesons are produced via the $J/psi to gamma eta$ decay process. The ratio $Gamma(eta to gamma e^+ e^-)/Gamma(etatogammagamma)$ is measured to be $(2.13pm0.09(text{stat.})pm0.07(text{sys.}))times10^{-2}$. This corresponds to a branching fraction ${cal B}(eta to gamma e^+e^-)= (4.69 pm0.20(text{stat.})pm0.23(text{sys.}))times10^{-4}$. The transition form factor is extracted and different expressions are compared to the measured dependence on the $e^+e^-$ invariant mass. The results are consistent with the prediction of the Vector Meson Dominance model.
