Using a sample of 10 billion $J/{\psi}$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the decays $\eta' \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, $\eta' \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ and $\eta' \to 4 \pi^{0}$ are studied via the process…
Using a low background data sample of $9.7\times10^{5}$ $J\psi\rightarrow\gamma\eta^\prime$, $\eta^\prime\rightarrow\gamma\pi^+\pi^-$ events, which are 2 orders of magnitude larger than those from the previous experiments, recorded with the…
We present results for the $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ masses and their four independent decay constants at the physical point as well as their anomalous gluonic matrix elements $a_{\eta^{(\prime)}}$. The chiral and continuum limit…

The study of hyperon decays at the Beijing Electron Spectrometer III (BESIII) is proposed to investigate the events of $J/\psi$ decay into hyperon pairs, which provide a pristine experimental environment at the Beijing Electron--Positron…
We study the radiative $B \to K \eta^{(\prime)} \gamma$ decays, which are important to investigate CP violation, and are also relevant to assess the role of the exclusive modes induced by the $b \to s \gamma$ transition to saturate the…
The two body decays of $B_d$ and $B_s$ decays into $J/\psi M$, where $M$ is a light meson, is studied under the very simple assumptions that the spectator quark does not play a role in the decay of the weak heavy quark or antiquark. This…
Using the Crystal Barrel(CB)/TAPS detector system at the ELSA accelerator facility in Bonn the \eta' photoproduction off nuclei (C, Ca, Nb and Pb) was studied via the hadronic decay channel \eta' -> \pi^0\pi^0\eta . Recent results on the…
At the turn of October and November 2008, the WASA-at-COSY collaboration performed an experiment to collect data on the eta meson decays in pd-->3He eta reactions. This report presents results of a study of the eta-->e+e-g conversion decay.…
The production of $\eta^\prime$ mesons in coincidence with forward-going protons has been studied in photon-induced reactions on $^{12}$C and on a liquid hydrogen (LH$_2$) target for incoming photon energies of 1.3-2.6 GeV at the electron…
Using a sample of $1.3\times 10^9$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of $\eta^{\prime}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $\eta^{\prime}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$. The measured…
We present an improved measurement of the $\eta'$ meson energy spectrum in $\Upsilon(1S)$ decays, using 1.2 fb^{-1} of data taken at the $\Upsilon(1S)$ center-of-mass energy with the CLEO III detector. We compare our results with models of…
In this talk a short overview of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ decays is given with an emphasis on what can be learned for the strong interaction from them. The talk consists of a short introduction to ChPT, a discussion of $\eta\to3\pi$ beyond $p^4$…
We study exclusive $B_s$ decays to final states with $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$, induced by the rare $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $b \to s \nu \bar \nu$ transitions. Differential decay rates and total branching fractions are predicted in the…
The WASA-at-COSY experiment has collected $3\times10^{7}$ events with $\eta$-mesons produced via the reaction $pd\rightarrow{^{3}\textrm{He}}\eta$ at $\textrm{T} = 1.0 \textrm{GeV}$. Using this data set, we evaluate the branching ratios of…
One of the basic motivations of the KLOE-2 and WASA-at-COSY experiments is the test of fundamental symmetries and the search for phenomena beyond the Standard Model in the hadronic and leptonic decays of ground-state mesons and in…
The branching ratios of weak decays of $\eta$ mesons are estimated in the framework of the Standard Model. To observe such decays, $\eta$ meson sources with $N_{\eta} > 10^{13}$ per year are needed.
Many new physics models beyond the Standard Model, motivated by the recent astrophysical anomalies, include the possibility of several new types of light weak-interacting particles. Typical models, such as Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric…
Instead of the glueball-$\eta'$ mixing ansatz, the latest measured ratios of the branching fractions of $B_{(s)}^0\to J/\psi \eta^{(\prime)}$ decays by LHCb can be understood by including the contribution from the light quark annihilation…
