We study the hadronic decays of $Lambda_{c}^{+}$ to the final states $Sigma^{+}eta$ and $Sigma^+eta^prime$, using an $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data sample of 567 pb$^{-1}$ taken at a center-of-mass energy of 4.6 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. We find evidence for the decays $Lambda_{c}^{+}rightarrowSigma^{+}eta$ and $Sigma^+eta^prime$ with statistical significance of $2.5sigma$ and $3.2sigma$, respectively. Normalizing to the reference decays $Lambda_c^+toSigma^+pi^0$ and $Sigma^+omega$, we obtain the ratios of the branching fractions $frac{{mathcal B}(Lambda_c^+toSigma^+eta)}{{mathcal B}(Lambda_c^+toSigma^+pi^0)}$ and $frac{{mathcal B}(Lambda_c^+toSigma^+eta^prime)}{{mathcal B}(Lambda_c^+toSigma^+omega)}$ to be $0.35 pm 0.16 pm 0.03$ and $0.86 pm 0.34 pm 0.07$, respectively. The upper limits at the 90% confidence level are set to be $frac{{mathcal B}(Lambda_c^+toSigma^+eta)}{{mathcal B}(Lambda_c^+toSigma^+pi^0)}<0.58$ and $frac{{mathcal B}(Lambda_c^+toSigma^+eta^prime)}{{mathcal B}(Lambda_c^+toSigma^+omega)}<1.2$. Using BESIII measurements of the branching fractions of the reference decays, we determine $mathcal B({Lambda_{c}^{+}rightarrowSigma^{+}eta})=(0.41pm0.19pm0.05)%$ ($<0.68%$) and $mathcal B({Lambda_{c}^{+}rightarrowSigma^{+}eta})=(1.34pm0.53pm0.21)%$ ($<1.9%$). Here, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The obtained branching fraction of $Lambda_c^+toSigma^+eta$ is consistent with the previous measurement, and the branching fraction of $Lambda_{c}^{+}rightarrowSigma^{+}eta^{prime}$ is measured for the first time.

A search is performed for the as yet unobserved baryonic $Lambda_b rightarrow Lambda eta^prime$ and $Lambda_b rightarrow Lambda eta$ decays with 3$fb^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment. The $B^0 rightarrow K_S^0 eta^prime$ decay is used as a normalisation channel. No significant signal is observed for the $Lambda_b rightarrow Lambda eta^prime$ decay. An upper limit is found on the branching fraction of $mathcal{B}(Lambda_b rightarrow Lambda eta^prime)<3.1times10^{-6}$} at 90% confidence level. Evidence is seen for the presence of the $Lambda_b rightarrow Lambda eta$ decay at the level of $3sigma$ significance, with a branching fraction $mathcal{B}(Lambda_b rightarrow Lambda eta)=(9.3^{+7.3}_{-5.3})times10^{-6}$}.
The hadronic decays eta, eta-prime -> 3 pi and eta-prime -> eta pi pi are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are included by deriving s- and p-wave interaction kernels for meson-meson scattering from the chiral effective Lagrangian and iterating them in a Bethe-Salpeter equation. Very good overall agreement with currently available data on decay widths and spectral shapes is achieved.
Motivated by recent measurements of the radiative decay rates of the emph{P}-wave spin singlet charmonium $h_c$ to the light meson $eta$ or $eta^prime$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we investigate the decay rates of these channels at order $alpha alpha_s^4$. The photon is radiated mainly from charm quark pairs in the lowest order Feynman diagrams, since the diagrams where a photon radiated from light quarks are suppressed by $alpha_s$ or the relative charm quark velocity $v$, due to Charge parity conservation. The form factors of two gluons to $eta$ or $eta^prime$ are employed, which are the major mechanism for $eta$ and $eta^prime$ productions. $eta(eta^prime)$ is treated as a light cone object when we consider that the parent charmonium mass is much heavier than that of the final light meson. We obtain the branching ratio ${cal B}(h_cto gammaeta^prime) = (1.94^{+0.70}_{-0.51})times 10^{-3}$ in the nonrelativistic QCD approach, which is in agreement with the BESIII measurement. The prediction of the branching ratio of $h_cto gammaeta$ is also within the range of experimental error after including the larger uncertainty of the total decay width $Gamma_{h_c}$. The applications of these formulae to the radiative decays to $eta(eta^prime)$ of the emph{P}-wave spin singlet bottomonium $h_b(nP)$ are presented. These studies will shed some light on the $eta - eta^prime$ mixing effects, the flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking, as well as the nonperturbative dynamics of charmonium and bottomonium.
We report branching fraction measurements of four decay modes of the $Lambda_{c}^{+}$ baryon, each of which includes an $eta$ meson and a $Lambda$ baryon in the final state, and all of which are measured relative to the $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+}$ decay mode. The results are based on a $980~mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. Two decays, $eta Sigma^{0} pi^{+}$ and $Lambda(1670) pi^{+}$, are observed for the first time, while the measurements of the other decay modes, $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow etaLambdapi^{+}$ and $etaSigma(1385)^{+}$, are more precise than those made previously. We obtain $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Lambda pi^{+})/mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$ = $0.293 pm 0.003 pm 0.014$, $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Sigma^{0} pi^{+})/mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$ = $0.120 pm 0.006 pm 0.006$, $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow Lambda(1670) pi^{+}) times mathcal{B}(Lambda(1670) rightarrow eta Lambda)/mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$ = $(5.54 pm 0.29 pm 0.73 ) times 10^{-2}$, and $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Sigma(1385)^{+})/mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$ = $0.192 pm 0.006 pm 0.016$. The mass and width of the $Lambda(1670)$ are also precisely determined to be $1674.3 pm 0.8 pm 4.9~{rm MeV}/c^{2}$ and $36.1 pm 2.4 pm 4.8~{rm MeV}$, respectively, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
Based on a sample of $1.31times10^9$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the matrix elements for the decays $eta^{prime}toetapi^{+}pi^{-}$ and $eta^{prime}toeta pi^{0}pi^{0}$ are determined using 351,016 $eta^{prime}to(etatogammagamma)pi^+pi^-$ and 56,249 $eta^{prime}to(etatogammagamma)pi^0pi^0$ events with background levels less than 1%. Two commonly used representations are used to describe the Dalitz plot density. We find that an assumption of a linear amplitude does not describe the data well. A small deviation of the obtained matrix elements between $eta^{prime}toetapi^{+}pi^{-}$ and $eta^{prime}toeta pi^{0}pi^{0}$ is probably caused by the mass difference between charged and neutral pions or radiative corrections. No cusp structure in $eta^{prime}toeta pi^{0}pi^{0}$ is observed.
