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

Conference ·

A dynamical coupled-channels formalism is used to investigate the $$\eta-$$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.
