$η$ production off the proton in a Regge-plus-chiral quark approach

A chiral constituent quark model approach, embodying s- and u-channel exchanges,complemented with a Reggeized treatment for t-channel is presented. A model is obtained allowing data for $π^- p \to ηn$ and $γp \to ηp$ to be describe satisfactorily. For the latter reaction, recently released data by CLAS and CBELSA/TAPS Collaborations in the system total energy range $1.6 \lesssim W \lesssim 2.8$ GeV are well reproduced due to the inclusion of Reggeized trajectories instead of simple $ρ$ and $ω$ poles. Contribution from "missing" resonances is found to be negligible in the considered processes.
