The quasi-free reaction p+d→ d+η+p_sp at ANKE* — •Daniel Schröer, Christopher Fritzsch, Alfons Khoukaz, and Marcel Rump for the ANKE collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, 48149 Münster, Germany

The interaction between η mesons and hadrons is an intensively investigated topic. Due to its stength it might lead to the formation of η-mesic nuclei. In order to study the characteristics of this interaction a measurement of the reaction p+d→ d+η+p_sp has been performed at the ANKE spectrometer at the COSY accelerator of the Forschungszentrum Jülich. In this context the deuteron serves as an effective neuteron target whereas the proton is treated as a spectator particle. The two different beam momenta (p₁= 2.09 GeV/c and p₂= 2.25 GeV/c) in combination with the Fermi motion inside the target deuteron grant access to the determination of total and differential cross sections in an excess energy range from threshold up to Q=90 MeV. While the course of the total cross section, especially near threshold, will allow to compute the scattering length a_dη of an s-wave final state interaction ansatz, the differential cross sections permit to verify the legitimacy of the s-wave assumption. Furthermore the data taken at higher excess energies enable to examine the role of nucleonic resonances in the production process of η mesons. Recent results will be presented and discussed.
