Abstract: (Springer)
The process e+eηηγe^+e^-\rightarrow \eta \eta \gamma is studied in the center-of-mass energy range 1.17–2.00 GeV using data with an integrated luminosity of 201 pb1^{-1} collected by the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 e+ee^+e^- collider. The e+eηηγe^+e^-\rightarrow \eta \eta \gamma cross section is measured for the first time. It is shown that the dominant mechanism of this reaction is the transition through the ϕη\phi \eta intermediate state. Our result on the e+eηηγe^+e^-\rightarrow \eta \eta \gamma cross section is consistent with the e+eϕηe^+e^-\rightarrow \phi \eta measurement in the ϕK+K\phi \rightarrow K^+ K^- mode. The search for radiative processes contributing to the e+eηηγe^+e^-\rightarrow \eta \eta \gamma cross section is performed, and no significant signal is observed.
