The $eta$-meson production in photon- and hadron-induced reactions, namely, $gamma p to p eta$, $pi^- p to n eta$, $pp to ppeta$, and $pn to pneta$, are investigated in a combined analysis in order to learn about the relevant production mechanisms and the possible role of nucleon resonances in these reactions. We consider the nucleonic, mesonic, and nucleon resonance currents constructed within an effective Lagrangian approach and compare the results with the available data for cross sections and spin asymmetries for these reactions. We found that the reaction $gamma p to p eta$ could be described well with the inclusion of the well-established $S_{11}(1535)$, $S_{11}(1650)$, $D_{13}(1520)$, and $D_{13}(1700)$ resonances, in addition to the mesonic current. Consideration of other well-established resonances in the same mass region, including the spin-5/2 resonances, $D_{15}(1675)$ and $F_{15}(1680)$, does not further improve the results qualitatively. For the reaction $pi^- p to n eta$, the $P_{13}(1720)$ resonance is found to be important for reproducing the structure observed in the differential cross section data. Our model also improves the description of the reaction $NN to NNeta$ to a large extent compared to the earlier results by Nakayama textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. C textbf{68}, 045201 (2003)]. For this reaction, we address two cases where either the $S_{11}(1535)$ or the $D_{13}$ dominates. Further improvement in the description of these reactions and the difficulty to uniquely determine the nucleon resonance parameters in the present type of analysis are discussed.

We report on the status of the search for eta-mesic nuclei and the studies of the interaction of the eta meson with nucleons. Recently we have completed the analysis of the new WASA-at-COSY data on the production of the eta meson with polarized proton beam. New results on the analyzing power for the pp->ppeta reaction with more than an order of magnitude improved precision shed a new light on the production mechanism of the eta meson in nucleon-nucleon collisions. Also, the latest results of the search for eta-mesic nuclei are discussed.
An exact expression is derived for the meson production current off the nucleon for real and virtual photons which cleanly separates, in a model-independent manner, a tree-level expression that manifestly preserves local gauge invariance in terms of a generalized Ward-Takahashi identity from transverse final-state-interaction (FSI) terms. As discussed in some detail, this exact formulation is particularly well suited for implementing approximation schemes of exchange-current and FSI contributions (which in practice generally will be necessary) at any level of sophistication without violating local gauge invariance.
The COSY-11 collaboration has conducted experiments aiming at the determination of the excitation function and phase-space population of the p p --> p p eta reaction close to the kinematical threshold. The precise data obtained with the stochastically cooled proton beam of the cooler synchrotron COSY and the high resolution zero-degree magnetic spectrometer allowed for the observation of the significant deviations - in the shape of the excitation function and two-particle invariant masses - from the predictions based on the assumption that the reaction phase space is homogenously populated. Comparison of the shape of the excitation function for the p p --> p p eta and p p --> p p eta-prime reaction allows to distinquish in the model independent way an influence originating from the proton-proton and proton-eta interaction. For the comparison the full data set from experiments performed at COSY and other laboratories is used.
We present the results of a recent analysis to study the nucleons charm sigma term, $sigma_{coverline{c}}$. We construct a minimal model in terms of light-front variables and constrain the range of possibilities using extant knowledge from deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) and Bayesian parameter estimation, ultimately computing $sigma_{coverline{c}}$ in an explicitly covariant manner. We find a close correlation between a possible nonperturbative component of the charm structure function, $F^{coverline{c}}_{2,, mathrm{IC}}$, and $sigma_{coverline{c}}$. Independent of prescription for the covariant relativistic quark-nucleon vertex, we determine $sigma_{coverline{c}}$ under several different scenarios for the magnitude of intrinsic charm (IC) in DIS, namely $langle x rangle_{c+overline{c}} = 0.1%$, $0.35%$, and $1%$, obtaining for these $sigma_{coverline{c}} = 4 pm 4$, $12 pm 13$, and $32 pm 34$ MeV, respectively. These results imply the existence of a reciprocity between the IC parton distribution function (PDF) and $sigma_{coverline{c}}$ such that new information from either DIS or improved determinations of $sigma_{c overline{c}}$ could significantly impact constraints to the charm sector of the proton wave function.
In view of the major advances achieved by the CLAS experiments in studying the N* electroexcitation amplitudes, as well as further extension of these studies in the experiments with CLAS12, we present an approach for the evaluation of the resonant contributions to inclusive electron scattering off protons. For the first time, the resonant contributions are determined from the experimental results on N* electrocouplings available from the data analyses of exclusive meson electroproduction off protons. This is a useful benchmark for future endeavours on understanding the transition region between low and high-energy regions, strongly related to tests on quark-hadron duality.
