A precise measurement of the Dalitz plot parameter, alpha, for the eta->3pi^0 decay is presented. The experiment was performed with the Crystal Ball and TAPS large acceptance photon detectors at the tagged photon beam facility of the MAMI-B electron accelerator in Mainz. High statistics of 1.8*10^6 eta->3pi^0 events were obtained, giving the result alpha = -0.032 +/- 0.002(stat) +/- 0.002(syst).

The dynamics of the $etato 3pi^0$ decay have been studied with the Crystal Ball multiphoton spectrometer and the TAPS calorimeter. Bremsstrahlung photons produced by the 1.5-GeV electron beam of the Mainz microtron MAMI-C and tagged by the Glasgow ph oton spectrometer were used for $eta$-meson production. The analysis of $3 times 10^6$ $gamma p to eta p to 3pi^0 p to 6gamma p$ events yields the value $alpha=-0.032pm0.003$ for the $etato 3pi^0$ slope parameter, which agrees with the majority of recent experimental results and has the smallest uncertainty. The $pi^0pi^0$ invariant-mass spectrum was investigated for the occurrence of a cusplike structure in the vicinity of the $pi^+pi^-$ threshold. The observed effect is small and does not affect our measured value for the slope parameter.
A new precise determination of the {eta} meson mass is presented. It is based on a measurement of the threshold for the {gamma}p -> p{eta} reaction using the tagger focal-plane microscope detector at the MAMI-B facility in Mainz. The tagger microscop e has a higher energy resolution than the standard tagging spectrometer and, hence, allowed an improvement in the accuracy compared to the previous {eta} mass measurement at MAMI-B. The result m{eta} = (547.851 +- 0.031 stat. +- 0.062 syst.) MeV agrees very well with the precise values of the NA48, KLOE and CLEO collaborations and deviates by about 5{sigma} from the smaller, but also very precise value obtained by the GEM collaboration at COSY.
We report a preliminary measurement of the slope parameter $alpha$ for the $etato 3piz$ decay carried out with KLOE at DA$Phi$NE; where $alpha$ is the parameter describing the energy dependence of the square of the matrix element for this decay. By f itting the event density in the Dalitz plot with a collected statistic of 420 pb$^{-1}$ we determine $alpha = -0.027 pm 0.004 (stat) ^{+0.004}_{-0.006} (syst)$. This result is consistent with current chiral perturbation theory calculations within the unitary approach.
An experimental study of the $etato pi^0pi^0eta to 6gamma$ decay has been conducted with the best up-to-date statistical accuracy, by measuring $eta$ mesons produced in the $gamma p to eta p$ reaction with the A2 tagged-photon facility at the Mainz M icrotron, MAMI. The results obtained for the standard parametrization of the $etato pi^0pi^0eta$ matrix element are consistent with the most recent results for $etatopipieta$ decays, but have smaller uncertainties. The available statistics and experimental resolution allowed, for the first time, an observation of a structure below the $pi^+pi^-$ mass threshold, the magnitude and sign of which, checked within the framework of the nonrelativistic effective-field theory, demonstrated good agreement with the cusp that was predicted based on the $pipi$ scattering length combination, $a_0-a_2$, extracted from $K to 3pi$ decays.
The Dalitz decay eta -> e^+ e^- gamma has been measured in the gamma p -> eta p reaction with the Crystal Ball and TAPS multiphoton spectrometers, together with the photon tagging facility at the Mainz Microtron MAMI. The experimental statistic used in this work is one order of magnitude greater than in any previous measurement of eta -> e^+ e^- gamma. The value obtained for the slope parameter 1/Lambda^2 of the eta transition form factor, 1/Lambda^2 = (1.95 +/- 0.15_stat +/- 0.10_syst) [1/GeV^2], is in good agreement with recent measurements conducted in eta -> e^+ e^- gamma and eta -> mu^+ mu^- gamma decays, as well as with recent form-factor calculations. The uncertainty obtained in the value of 1/Lambda^2 is lower compared to results from previous measurements of the eta -> e^+ e^- gamma decay.
