Final state interaction in the reaction NN -> eta NN
arXiv:nucl-th/0310034 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.69.014001
Abstract
The production of $η$ mesons in $NN$ collisions in the near threshold region is analyzed with special emphasis on the role of final state interaction which is calculated using three-body scattering theory. The three-body aspects are shown to be very important in interpreting experimental results for the total cross section of $pp\toηpp$. Furthermore, energy spectra and angular distributions of the emitted particles are calculated and compared to experimental data.
