Abstract

We derive the effective chiral Lagrangian for low-energy η–nucleon and η′–nucleon interactions and show that gluonic degrees of freedom, via the axial U A (1) anomaly, induce a contact term in the pp→ ppη and pp→ ppη′ reactions. We then discuss the consequences for the extraction of g η′ NN from experimental data.
