Form factors measured for the decay η′ → ηπ–π+ in π–A → η′π–A* reactions at a beam momentum of pπ = 28 GeV are presented. The distribution in Dalitz variables for 7000 decay events is described well within a linear and a nonlinear parametrization of the relavant matrix element. The slope parameter in the variable y differs from zero significantly. It is Reα = –0.072 ± 0.012(stat.) ± 0.006(syst.) in the linear and a = –0.120 ± 0.027(stat.) ± 0.015(syst.) in the nonlinear parametrization. In this decay, the C-violation parameter is compatible with zero, c = 0.021 ± 0.024.© 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
