Proton-η′ interactions at threshold

Recent data on photoproduction of η′ mesons off protons have been included in the data base for the Bonn–Gatchina partial wave analysis. The real and imaginary parts of the S-wave η′p→η′p scattering amplitude in the threshold region were fit to yield the η′p scattering length and the interaction ran...
