Insights into the pi- p -> eta n reaction mechanism

Nuclear Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

A dynamical coupled-channels formalism is used to investigate the η\eta-meson production mechanism on the proton induced by pions, in the total center-of-mass energy region from threshold up to 2 GeV. We show how and why studying exclusively total cross section data might turn out to be misleading in pinning down the reaction mechanism.
