Cross sections for the reaction ..pi../sup -/p..-->..etan are measured at the momenta 15 and 40 GeV/c. About 30,000 events are recorded. A hodoscope spectrometer on line with a computer was used to detect ..gamma.. pairs from eta-meson decays. The differential cross section decreases exponentially with increasing t, the 4-momentum transfer squared, and for -t>2 (GeV/c)/sup 2/ it is less than 1 nb/(GeV/c)/sup 2/. The A/sub 2/ trajectory is determined; it has a linear form ..cap alpha../sub A/2(t) =0.45+0.7t in the region 0<-t9 or approx. =1 (GeV/c)/sup 2/.
