Abstract

Exclusive production of ηπ- and η'π- has been studied with a 191 GeV/c π- beam impinging on a hydrogen target at COMPASS (CERN). Partial-wave analyses reveal different odd/even angular momentum (L) characteristics in the inspected invariant mass range up to 3 GeV/c2. A striking similarity between the two systems is observed for the L=2, 4, 6 intensities (scaled by kinematical factors) and the relative phases. The known resonances a2(1320) and a4(2040) are in line with this similarity. In contrast, a strong enhancement of η'π- over ηπ- is found for the L=1, 3, 5 waves, which carry non-qq- quantum numbers. The L=1 intensity peaks at 1.7 GeV/c2 in η'π- and at 1.4 GeV/c2 in ηπ-, the corresponding phase motions with respect to L=2 are different.
