Abstract

The Dalitz decay η→e+e−γ has been measured in the γp→ηp 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 η→e+e−γ. The value obtained for the slope parameter Λ−2 of the η transition form factor, Λ−2=(1.95±0.15stat±0.10syst) GeV−2, is in good agreement with recent measurements conducted in η→e+e−γ and η→μ+μ−γ decays, as well as with recent form-factor calculations. The uncertainty obtained in the value of Λ−2 is lower compared to results from previous measurements of the η→e+e−γ decay.
