Abstract.
The near threshold behaviour of the reaction cross section for pp→ppη′, recently measured in experiments at COSY and SATURNE, is analyzed. The interaction in the pp as well as in the η′ p final states is taken into account. The suppression of the total cross section for this process at excess energies Q < 3 MeV observed in these experiments is interpreted as an evidence for a strong repulsive η′ p interaction.
