Book Description
Data from ee− annihilations at 29 GeV have been used to measure the production and fragmentation of eta mesons. The signal is observed in the eta .-->. .gamma gamma. decay channel. The fragmentation function for p/sub eta/> 1.5 GeV/c agrees well with the shapes predicted by both the Lund and Webber models. However, the mean multiplicity is measured to be = 0.37 +- 0.08 eta mesons per hadronic annihilation event, which is significantly lower than the values predicted by either model. 6 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
