The photoproduction reaction of $gamma p to eta^prime p$ is investigated based on an effective Lagrangian approach in the tree-level approximation, with the purpose being to understand the reaction mechanisms and to extract the resonance contents and the associated resonance parameters in this reaction. Apart from the $t$-channel $rho$ and $omega$ exchanges, $s$- and $u$-channel nucleon exchanges, and generalized contact term, the exchanges of a minimum number of nucleon resonances in the $s$ channel are taken into account in constructing the reaction amplitudes to describe the experimental data. It is found that a satisfactory description of the available data on both differential cross sections and photon beam asymmetries can be obtained by including in the $s$ channel the exchanges of the $N(1875)3/2^-$ and $N(2040)3/2^+$ resonances. The reaction mechanisms of $gamma p to eta^prime p$ are discussed and a prediction for the target nucleon asymmetries is presented.

High-statistics differential cross sections for the reactions gamma p -> p eta and gamma p -> p eta-prime have been measured using the CLAS at Jefferson Lab for center-of-mass energies from near threshold up to 2.84 GeV. The eta-prime results are the most precise to date and provide the largest energy and angular coverage. The eta measurements extend the energy range of the worlds large-angle results by approximately 300 MeV. These new data, in particular the eta-prime measurements, are likely to help constrain the analyses being performed to search for new baryon resonance states.
Differential cross sections and photon beam asymmetries for the gamma p -> pi+ n reaction have been measured for 0.6<cos(theta)<1 and Egamma=1.5-2.95 GeV at SPring-8/LEPS. The cross sections monotonically decrease as the photon beam energy increases for 0.6<cos(theta)<0.9. However, the energy dependence of the cross sections for 0.9<cos(theta)<1 and Egamma=1.5-2.2 GeV (W=1.9-2.2 GeV) is different, which may be due to a nucleon or Delta resonance. The present cross sections agree well with the previous cross sections measured by other groups and show forward peaking, suggesting significant t-channel contributions in this kinematical region. The asymmetries are found to be positive, which can be explained by rho-exchange in the t-channel. Large positive asymmetries in the small |t| region, where the rho-exchange contribution becomes small, could be explained by introducing pi-exchange interference with the s-channel.
We calculate the single spin asymmetry for the $e p to e Delta(1232)$ process, for an electron beam polarized normal to the scattering plane. Such single spin asymmetries vanish in the one-photon exchange approximation, and are directly proportional to the absorptive part of a two-photon exchange amplitude. As the intermediate state in such two-photon exchange process is on its mass shell, the asymmetry allows one to access for the first time the on-shell $Delta to Delta$ as well as $N^ast to Delta$ electromagnetic transitions. We present the general formalism to describe the $e p to e Delta$ beam normal spin asymmetry, and provide a numerical estimate of its value using the nucleon, $Delta(1232)$, $S_{11}(1535)$, and $D_{13}(1520)$ intermediate states. We compare our results with the first data from the Qweak@JLab experiment and give predictions for the A4@MAMI experiment.
Differential cross sections and photon-beam asymmetries for the gamma p -> pi- Delta++(1232) reaction have been measured for 0.7<cos(theta)<1 and Egamma=1.5-2.95 GeV at SPring-8/LEPS. The first-ever high statistics cross section data are obtained in this kinematical region, and the asymmetry data for 1.5<Egamma(GeV)<2.8 are obtained for the first time. This reaction has a unique feature for studying the production mechanisms of a pure $ubar{u}$ quark pair in the final state from the proton. Although there is no distinct peak structure in the cross sections, a non-negligible excess over the theoretical predictions is observed at Egamma=1.5-1.8 GeV. The asymmetries are found to be negative in most of the present kinematical regions, suggesting the dominance of pi-exchange in the t-channel. The negative asymmetries at forward meson production angles are different from the asymmetries previously measured for the photoproduction reactions which produce a $dbar{d}$ or an $sbar{s}$ quark pair in the final state. Advanced theoretical models introducing nucleon resonances and additional unnatural parity exchanges are needed to reproduce the present data.
We observe the process $psi(3686) to p bar{p} eta^{prime}$ for the first time, with a statistical significance higher than 10$sigma$, and measure the branching fraction of $J/psi to p bar{p} eta^{prime}$ with an improved accuracy compared to earlier studies. The measurements are based on $4.48 times 10^8$ $psi(3686)$ and $1.31 times 10^{9}$ $J/psi$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII. The branching fractions are determined to be $B(psi(3686) to p bar{p} eta^{prime}) = (1.10pm0.10pm0.08)times10^{-5}$ and $B(J/psi to p bar{p} eta^{prime})=(1.26pm0.02pm 0.07)times10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. Additionally, the $eta-eta^{prime}$ mixing angle is determined to be $-24^{circ} pm 11^{circ}$ based on $psi(3686) to p bar{p} eta^{prime}$, and $-24^{circ} pm 9^{circ}$ based on $J/psi to p bar{p} eta^{prime}$, respectively.
