    Taking advantage of both the low-emittance proton beam of the cooler synchrotron COSY and the high momentum precision of the COSY-11 detector system, the mass distribution of the {eta}{sup '} meson was measured with a resolution of 0.33 MeV/c{sup 2} (FWHM), improving the experimental mass resolution by almost an order of magnitude with respect to previous results. Based on the sample of more than 2300 reconstructed pp{yields}pp{eta}{sup '} events, the total width of the {eta}{sup '} meson was determined to be {Gamma}{sub {eta}}{sup '}=0.226{+-}0.017(stat){+-}0.014(syst) MeV/c{sup 2}.
