We extract a parameter $\xi$, a characteristic product of the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes for the N^*(1535), to be (2.20+-0.15) in unit of 10^(-4)MeV^(-1) from the new data on photoproduction of etas off proton.
Information about the production mechanism of the eta meson in proton-proton collisions can be inferred by confronting the experimental studies on the analysing power for the p(pol)p --> pp eta reaction with the theoretical predictions of…
