STUDY OF THE eta -> gamma e(+)e(-) DECAY WITH THE WASA-at-COSY

• In October 2008, the WASA-at-COSY collected more than 10(7) events for the pd -> (3)He eta reaction. The aim is the determination of the invariant mass of the lepton pairs created in the Dalitz decay eta -> gamma e(+)e(-). The e(+)e(-) invariant mass spectrum is directly related to the distribution of the four-momentum squared of the virtual photon from the eta -> gamma gamma* process and hence it allows for the study of the transition form factor which in turn reflects the structure of the decaying meson.
