ABSTRACT Proton-proton and proton- $\eta$ invariant-mass distributions and the total cross-section for the pp $\rightarrow$ pp $\eta$ reaction have been determined near the threshold at an excess energy of Q = 10 MeV. The experiment has been conducted using the COSY-11 detector setup and the cooler synchrotron COSY. The determined invariant-mass spectra reveal significant enhancements in the region of low proton-proton relative momenta, similarly as observed previously at higher excess energies of Q = 15.5 MeV and Q = 40 MeV.

[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The azimuthally symmetric WASA detector and the polarised proton beam of COSY, enable investigations of energy and angular dependence of the beam analysing power in the pp --> ppeta reaction. The aim of the studies is the determination of the partial wave contributions via interference terms which are inaccessible from spin averaged observables. The partial wave decomposition is mandatory for the understanding of the reaction dynamics and for the determination of the eta-proton interaction, independently of the theoretical paradigm used.

ABSTRACT: Collisions in a system of two particles at energies close to a bound state in different channels are discussed. Next, the bound state decays into a third coupled channel. A phenomenological approach to dd->pi-p3He reaction is presented.

##### Article: eta meson production in nucleon-nucleon collisions
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: New experimental data are presented on the energy dependence of the total cross sections for the np -> d eta and quasi-two-body pp -> pp eta reactions, where the final diproton is detected at very low excitation energy. Differential cross sections of pp -> pp eta away from threshold show the influence of higher partial waves and a partial wave decomposition is attempted.
