    Abstract

    The Dalitz plot of eta' -> eta pi(+)pi(-) decay is studied using (225.2 +/- 2.8) x 10(6) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider. With the largest sample of eta' decays to date, the parameters of the Dalitz plot are determined in a generalized and a linear representation. Also, the branching fraction of J/psi -> gamma eta' is determined to be (4.84 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.24) x 10(-3), where the first error is statistical and the second systematic.
