Consistent analysis of the reaction $\gamma p\to p{\eta }^{\prime }$ and $pp\to pp{\eta }^{\prime }$

Abstract

The production of ${\eta }^{\prime }$ mesons in the reactions $\gamma p\to p{\eta }^{\prime }$ and $pp\to pp{\eta }^{\prime }$ is described consistently within a relativistic meson exchange model of hadronic interactions. The photoproduction can be described quite well over the entire energy range of available data by considering an $S_{11}$ and a $P_{11}$ resonance, in addition to the $t$-channel mesonic current. The observed angular distribution is due to the interference between the $t$-channel and the nucleon resonance $s$- and $u$-channel contributions. Our analysis yields positions close to 1650 MeV and 1870 MeV for the $S_{11}$ and $P_{11}$ resonances, respectively. We argue that, at present, identifying these states with the known $S_{11}(1650)$ resonance and the missing $P_{11}$ resonance predicted at 1880 MeV, respectively, would be premature. It is found that the nucleonic current is relatively small and that the $NN{\eta }^{\prime }$ coupling constant cannot be much larger than $g_{NN{\eta }^{\prime }}=3$. As for the $pp\to pp{\eta }^{\prime }$ reaction, different current contributions are constrained by a combined analysis of this and the photoproduction reaction. Difficulties to simultaneously account for the 47-MeV and 144-MeV angular distributions measured by the COSY-11 and DISTO collaborations, respectively, are addressed.
