Abstract

The Dalitz decays η → e + e − γ and ω → π 0 e + e − have been measured in the γ p → η p and γ p → ω p reactions, respectively, with the A2 tagged-photon facility at the Mainz Microtron. The value obtained for the slope parameter of the electromagnetic transition form factor of η , Λ − 2 η = ( 1.97 ± 0 . 11 tot ) GeV − 2 , is in good agreement with previous measurements of the η → e + e − γ and η → μ + μ − γ decays. The uncertainty obtained in the value of Λ − 2 η is lower than in previous results based on the η → e + e − γ decay. The value obtained for the ω slope parameter, Λ − 2 ω π 0 = ( 1.99 ± 0 . 21 tot ) GeV − 2 , is somewhat lower than previous measurements based on ω → π 0 μ + μ − , but the results for the ω transition form factor are in better agreement with theoretical calculations, compared to earlier experiments.
