Abstract: (Springer)
The isobar model EtaMAID has been updated with new and high precision data for η\eta and η\eta^{\prime} photoproduction on protons and neutrons from MAMI, ELSA, GRAAL and CLAS. The background is described in a recently developed Regge cut model, and for the resonance part the whole list of nucleon resonances has been investigated with 21 NN^{\ast} states contributing to η\eta photoproduction and 12 NN^{\ast} states contributing to η \eta^\prime photoproduction. A new approach is discussed to avoid double counting in the overlap region of Regge and resonances. A comparison is done among four newly updated partial waves analyses for observables and partial waves. Finally, the possibility of a narrow resonance near W=1900W = 1900 MeV is discussed, that would be able to explain unexpected energy and angular dependence of observables in p(γ,η)p p(\gamma,\eta^{\prime})p near η\eta^{\prime} threshold.
