We report first measurements of the branching fractions B(ψ2S→γη′)=(1.54±0.31±0.20)×10−4 and B(ψ2S→γη)=(0.53±0.31±0.08)×10−4. The ψ(2S)→γη′ result is consistent with expectations of a model that considers the possibility of η′−ηc(2S) mixing. The ratio of the ψ(2S)→γη′ and ψ(2S)→γη rates is used to determine the pseudoscalar octet-singlet mixing angle.Received 5 February 1998DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.58.097101©1998 American Physical …
