We measure the mass of the η meson using ψ(2S)→ηJ/ψ events acquired with the CLEO-c detector operating at the CESR e+e− collider. Using the four decay modes η→γγ, 3π0, π+π−π0, and π+π−γ, we find Mη=547.785±0.017±0.057 MeV, in which the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This result has …
