Abstract: (Elsevier)
We have measured the radiative decays φ → ηγ , φ → η ′ γ selecting π + π − γγγ final state in a sample of ∼5×10 7 φ -mesons produced at the Frascati φ -factory DA Φ NE. We obtain Γ ( φ → η ′ γ )/ Γ ( φ → ηγ )=(4.70±0.47±0.31)×10 −3 . From this result we derive new accurate values for the branching ratio BR( φ → η ′ γ )=(6.10±0.61±0.43)×10 −5 and the mixing angle of pseudoscalar mesons in the flavour basis ϕ P =(41.8 +1.9 −1.6 )°.
