$\eta$ MAID-2015: update with new data and new resonances

Nuclear Theory 2016-02-19 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

Recent data for η\eta and η\eta\prime photoproduction on protons obtained by the A2 Collaboration at MAMI are presented. The total cross section for η\eta photoproduction demonstrates a cusp at the energy corresponding to the η\eta\prime threshold. The new data and existing data from GRAAL, CBELSA/TAPS, and CLAS collaborations have been analyzed by an expansion in terms of associated Legendre polynomials. %A Legendre decomposition shows the sensitivity to small partial-wave contributions. The isobar model η\etaMAID updated with η\eta \prime channel and new resonances have been used to fit the new data. The new solution η\etaMAID-2015 reasonably good describes the data in the photon beam energy region up to 3.7 GeV.
