Abstract
The TPC/Two-Gamma facility at the SLAC storage ring PEP was used to study the reactions γ→η and γ→η’. The ηγ and η’ γ transition form factors were measured as functions of , the negative of the invariant mass squared of the tagged photon, in the range 0.1<<7 . These determinations of the electromagnetic structure of the η and η’ mesons are consistent with both vector-meson dominance and QCD. They also provide new measurements of the pseudoscalar mixing angle and decay constants.
