Abstract

A phenomenological analysis of radiative VPγV\to P\gamma and PVγP\to V\gamma decays is performed in order to determine the gluonic content of the η\eta^\prime wave function. Our result shows that there is no evidence for such a gluonium contribution, Zη2=0.04±0.09Z_{\eta^\prime}^2=0.04\pm 0.09. In terms of a mixing angle description this corresponds to ϕP=(41.4±1.3)\phi_P=(41.4\pm 1.3)^\circ and ϕηG=(12±13)|\phi_{\eta^\prime G}|=(12\pm 13)^\circ.
