Clarified the role of nucleon resonances in these reactions.

Provided insights into the underlying dynamics of meson production.

Abstract

The production of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ mesons in photon- and hadron-induced reactions are studied in a combined analysis based on an effective Lagrangian approach in order to learn about the relevant production mechanisms and the possible role of nucleon resonances in these reactions.
