Taken by itself, the interference with the etaprime appears to strongly affect the amplitude of the transition eta->3 pi. I point out that this effect is fictitious and also occurs in the mass spectrum of the pseudoscalars. Chiral symmetry…

An experimental study of the $\eta'\to \pi^0\pi^0\eta \to 6\gamma$ decay has been conducted with the best up-to-date statistical accuracy, by measuring $\eta'$ mesons produced in the $\gamma p \to \eta' p$ reaction with the A2 tagged-photon…
