Threshold K, eta, and eta' mesons production in pp interaction

Abstract

The near threshold total cross sections for the pp->pp eta' and pp->ppK+K- reactions has been measured at the COSY-11 facility. Possible production mechanisms are discussed. The energy dependence of the total cross section for the both reactions disagrees with predictions based on the phase space volume and the proton-proton final state interaction.
