Abstract

We report on the first determination of upper limits on the branching ratio (BR) of η decay to π⁰π⁰γ and to π⁰π⁰γ. Both decay modes are strictly forbidden by charge conjugation (C) invariance. Using the Crystal Ball multiphoton detector, we obtained BR(η→ π⁰ π⁰) < 5 × 10^-4 at the 90% confidence level, in support of C invariance of isoscalar electromagnetic interactions of the light quarks. We have also measured BR(η→ π⁰π⁰γ) < 6 × 10^-5 at the 90% confidence level, in support of C invariance of isovector electromagnetic interactions.
