Abstract content
The isobar model EtaMAID is an online program of the MAID collaboration in Mainz for calculations of observables, amplitudes and multipoles for $\eta$ and $\eta\prime$ photo- and electroproduction on the nucleon. It was introduced in 2001 and updated in 2003. Now we will present a new update EtaMAID2016, taking into account very recent high-precision data of differential cross sections for $p(\gamma,\eta)p$ and $p(\gamma,\eta\prime)p$ from MAMI and polarization observables with beam and target polarization from MAMI, ELSA, JLab and GRAAL. The high-energy region $W>2$ GeV is set-up with Regge trajectories and Regge cuts and can well describe all high-energy data including polarization observables for $\gamma,\pi^0$, $\gamma,\eta$ and $\gamma,\eta\prime$. In the resonance region below $W\approx 2$ GeV we investigated more than 20 $N^*$ resonances and found significant contributions for 18 of them. A very good description has been obtained for all existing photoproduction data.
