Abstract
Eta photo- and electroproduction on the nucleon is studied using an isobar model. The model contains Born terms, and contributions from vector-meson exchanges and nucleon resonances. Our results are compared with recent eta-photoproduction data for differential and total cross sections, beam asymmetry, and target asymmetry, as well as electroproduction data. Besides the dominant S11(1535) resonance, we show that the second S11 resonance, S11(1650), is also necessary to be included in order to extract S11(1535) resonance parameters properly. In addition, the beam asymmetry data allow us to extract very small (<0.1%) N∗→ηN decay branching ratios of the D13(1520) and F15(1680) resonances because of the overwhelming s-wave dominance. This model (ETA-MAID) is implemented as a part of the MAID program (the MAID program can be accessed from the webpage: http://www.kph.uni-mainz.de/MAID/maid.html).
