摘要
The η-meson production in proton-nucleus (pA) collisions near threshold is studied within a rela- tivistic meson-exchange model. The primary production amplitude is presented in the distorted-wave impulse approximation for the nucleus with isospin 0 or 1 by assuming that N^*(1535) is excited via a meson exchange and then decays into η and nucleon pair(nN). Taking ISO and 12C nuclei as examples, we evaluate the prouction cross sections as a function of the incident proton energy, and analyze the effects of nuclear medium and various meson-exchange contributions. Finally we discuss implications for further experimental studies at the Cooling Storage Ring (CSR) in Lanzhou.
