The ratio R of the differential cross sections for π - p→ η ′n and π - p → η n has been measured with high statistics and small systematic errors at 8.45 GeV/ c . R is generally interpreted as the relative content of nonstrange, ground-state quarks in η' and η. We find that R decreases with increasing ⋎ t ⋎; however, extrapolation to t =0 gives R (0) = 0.672 ± 0.032 (statistical) ± 0.47 (systematic) for the dominant spin flip cross sections, and R (0) = 0.500 ± 0.035 for the spin non-flip, in excellent agreement with results at higher energy. An improved value of the branching fraction ( η '→ γγ )/( η '→all) of 0.0200 ± 0.0018 is obtained.

The ratio between the cross sections for the reactions π − p→ χ ↳ 2γ 0 n and π − p → η →2 γ n has been measured to be (2.4 ± 0.9) × 10 −2 , (2.1 ± 0.6) × 10 −2 and (2.8 ± 1.3) × 10 −2 at 3.8,6,8 and 12 GeV/ c incident momentum respectively.
