Abstract

New results on quasi-free η photoproduction on the neutron and proton bound in a deuteron target are presented. The γn ηn quasi-free cross section reveals a bump-like structure which is not seen in the cross section on the proton. This structure may signal the existence of a relatively narrow (M 1.68 GeV, Γ≤ 30 MeV) baryon state.
