Measurements of the scattering length σtotspectrum by CBELSA (⊿Eγ is not sufficiently small.) • The large η’N scattering length (-2.7 fm) will make threshold enhancement of total cross sections. • Near-threshold σtot measurement w/ high Eγ resolution and statistics is necessary. • [V.

Summary • Production cross section of η’ near threshold η’N cross section may enhance due to η’N interaction. • Large scattering length (-2.7 fm) has been predicted theoretically and we can measure with over 3σconfidence level at LEPS2. The sensitivity for small scattering length will be investigated. • 104η’ (near threshold) / half year at BGO experiment at LEPS2 • ⊿Eγ 〜 1 MeV ( Kinematic Fitting ) • σtotdepends on imaginary part of a and re. • Theoretical help to evaluate imaginary part is necessary.
Effects of virtual π Nη’p η’ γ • Diagrams as above are possible, and they may distort the shape of near-threshold cross section even if η’ and N do not interact. • γpπN ( few μbarn ) , πNη’p are small? π p p N
